American humanics FAQ

What is American Humanics (AH)?

American Humanics is a nationally recognized certificate program that prepares students for a career in a non-profit organization.

The Bauer College of Business Administration and the American Humanics Program in the Graduate School of Social Work have partnered to develop a specific undergraduate curriculum which utilizes BBA degree requirements to prepare students to apply for a national Certification in Nonprofit Management.  Students may complete certification requirements with post-baccalaureate status.

I want to take MARK 4390 Mkting for Non-profit Org.  What should I do?

The MARK 4390 course offered in the Spring 2006 semester is an honors course, but is open to any business student that currently has a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Please do not request enrollment into this course unless you currently have a UH GPA of 3.0 or above.  All students requesting enrollment will have their GPA verified before being enrolled into the course.

What are the requirements?

The certification requires two major components: the academic requirements, which are relevant courses that meet both AH and business requirements AND the co-curricular activities which require the student to attend activities such as an annual retreat, professional workshops/seminars, and to participate in a two-semester internship with a non-profit organization.

How long does it take to complete the program?

Students can typically complete the program in about a year and a half.
