The Social
Sciences Interdisciplinary program (IDP) is pleased to offer a new Minor
in Nonprofit Leadership, open to all UB undergraduates!
The Minor in Nonprofit
Leadership provides students with an understanding of how nonprofit
organizations differ from corporations and government entities in their
structure and function, as well as exposure to practical skills (e.g.,
development, grantwriting, program evaluation) and topics related to working in
nonprofit organizations. The minor is ideal for students who are interested in
social or public service, who care about advancing a cause, or who want to have
a social or civic impact on their communities. Students may use a limited
number of approved courses from multiple UB departments to fulfill the minor,
making it an excellent complement to a wide range of undergraduate majors.
The minor consists of 18 credit hours, including two
required courses (SSC 103 and SSC 235) and a variety of elective options.
Interested students are encouraged to review the program
requirements. Questions may be directed to the IDP office in 203 Clemens or
at 716-645-2245 x0.
The Minor in Addiction Studies is unique in
drawing from experts from many different disciplines—medical, humanities,
legal, social sciences, and more—to provide multi-perspective training in
addiction and related issues. The program is designed for students whose
interests and career goals involve addiction at any level.
