Church/Nonprofit Management Concentration

The concentration in Church/Nonprofit Management available for Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Ministry degree programs is jointly based in SMU’s Cox School of Business and Perkins School of Theology. It is an eighteen credit hour interdisciplinary graduate level concentration with the Cox Management and Organizations and Marketing Departments that provides high quality business education to students in tandem with critical theological preparation. Students registered in the concentration will plan their academic program with their adviser, the Perkins Registrar, and/or the Perkins academic dean. Perkins’ students will have seats in required and elective courses through the planning process or upon notification from the Perkins Registrar and/or Associate Dean of Academic Affairs on or before the registration period. Graduate courses in Cox School of Business will have a Management and Organizations (MNO) or Marketing (MKTG) prefix as well as a 6000 level course number. Each 16-week term in Cox is divided into two eight-week modules, A and B, with courses in each module earning two credit hours per course.
