Marywood's Online Nonprofit Leadership and Public Management Program Ranked Among the Best in the Nation

Marywood University’s Master of Nonprofit Leadership and Public Management Program has been recognized as one of the best schools for online learning at the master’s level by OnlineMastersDegrees.org (OMD). Marywood’s Nonprofit Leadership and Public Management programs earned top honors for overall quality, affordability, and commitment to student success. 

OMD analyzed more than 7,700 accredited universities by using data pulled from the schools themselves and from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). To be eligible for ranking, a university must hold active regional accreditation and have at least one partially online master’s program in the ranking subject. Just 8 percent of U.S. postsecondary institutions earned a ranking position. 

“Providing students with opportunities to get a master’s online is only part of our rankings,” said Kyle Darland, co-founder of OMD. “Top-ranked schools also had competitive tuition rates and/or scholarships to help drive costs down.”

Ranking at #30, Marywood University, which offers a fully online NLPM program, was the only regional institution, as well as one of only two institutions in Pennsylvania, that placed. In addition to its regular online degree program, Marywood recently launched an Executive Nonprofit Leadership and Public Management (ENLPM) Program to fast track graduate degree completion for those working in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors. Designed for working professionals with at least five years of post-bachelor’s degree experience, the ENLPM program allows students to take graduate courses in public policy and administration without taking time off from their careers. Set to begin in the fall 2023 semester, the program is currently accepting applicants.
