The minor provides an interdisciplinary framework for School of Liberal Arts majors for whom the study of history, culture, civil society, or values overlaps their own disciplines. It also attracts students from other majors who wish to incorporate an interdisciplinary component into their professional training. Students should declare their intention to pursue the minor in a letter addressed to the chair of the philanthropic studies faculty.Requirements for the minor include 15 credit hours. A grade of C or higher must be earned in each course counted toward the minor. Because the subject of philanthropy is inherently interdisciplinary, no more than two courses may be taken in any one department. Students may petition the chair of the philanthropic studies faculty to replace an existing course option. Core CoursesStudents are required to include at least two of the following five courses:
Elective Courses
Certificate in American HumanicsThe American Humanics Certificate (AH) prepares undergraduate students to become skilled professionals and leaders in human service (nonprofit) organizations. Students develop a network of professional contacts, obtain on-the-job experience through an extensive internship and site visits, and acquire leadership skills through the AH student association. In addition, they have opportunities to explore careers, participate in community service projects, and engage in social activities. This certificate program is open to students pursuing a baccalaureate degree in any major. To obtain more information, contact the Center on Philanthropy at IUPUI by calling (317) 274-4200.Master of ArtsThe Master of Arts in Philanthropic Studies focuses on the history, culture, and values of philanthropy. Its objectives are to enable students to gain the knowledge and skills either to pursue further graduate study in relevant fields or to pursue careers in the independent sector or in related fields; to enable students to investigate the broader theoretical issues of philanthropy and of their chosen areas of specialization from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives; and to utilize the interdisciplinary base to maintain a thorough critical inquiry into the historical and cultural implications of philanthropy.AdmissionRequirements include a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0, and a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in the student's major field. In addition, students seeking admission to the program should demonstrate an appropriate level of achievement on the Graduate Record Examination (or comparable proficiency test), and must arrange for three letters of recommendation to be addressed to the M.A. Program Admissions Committee.Applicants who do not meet all of the requirements listed above may be admitted to the program on a provisional basis, in which case their status will be reviewed after a fixed period of time to determine whether they may continue in the program. Financial AidFellowships, scholarships, and graduate assistantships are available. Please contact Student Services in the School of Liberal Arts for more information.CurriculumThe M.A. in Philanthropic Studies requires a total of 36 credit hours. This includes 18 credit hours of core courses, 12 credit hours of elective courses, and 6 credit hours of thesis or additional courses. A minimum of 18 credit hours in core and elective courses combined must be in the School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, and not more than 9 credit hours may be taken in courses numbered below 500. These 9 credit hours may come only from courses approved for Graduate School credit. In addition, the student earns 6 credit hours either for a thesis on a topic approved by the M.A. Program Advisory Committee or for graduate-level courses in a field in which future study is planned. The approval process for the thesis or its alternative normally takes place after a student has successfully completed 15 credit hours of course work.In order to earn the M.A. in Philanthropic Studies, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0. Grades in courses counting for credit toward this degree may be no lower than C (2.0 on a scale of 4.0). The 18 credit hours of core courses normally include
Dual DegreesThe Philanthropic Studies program has developed dual degree opportunities with several schools and departments. When approved, a dual degree provides a student with a program of study that leads to the M.A. in Philanthropic Studies and a master's degree in another discipline. Students must apply separately and simultaneously for a dual degree. Economics (M.A. in Economics) History (M.A. in History) Nursing (M.S. in Nursing Administration) School of Public and Environmental Affairs (M.P.A. in Nonprofit Management) For more information, contact Student Services in the Center on Philanthropy at (317) 684-8911.Executive M.A. in Philanthropic Studies ProgramMany students interested in the M.A. program are unable to attend on a traditional residential basis because of the distance from Indianapolis and their ongoing job responsibilities. To provide access to the M.A. in Philanthropic Studies at Indiana University for this growing constituency, the executive master's program was established in 1996. A participant in the executive master's program can finish the requirements for the degree usually in three years by completing: An orientation before the first day of classes; six intense one-week sessions of residential study at IUPUI; distance education and directed off-site course work; and elective study at a qualified institution near the student's home.Each summer course requires one week of intense on-campus study and is preceded by a preresidential period of approximately six weeks that includes preparatory reading and assignments. Each session is followed by a postresidential period that includes evaluative experiences to be completed at home. During both the preresidential and postresidential periods, faculty work with students by telephone, e-mail, fax, and mail. Applicants for the executive program must meet the same admission criteria as those applying for the residential program with the addition of three to five years of work experience in the nonprofit sector being required. Deadline dates for admission are January 1 for non-U.S. citizens and February 1 for U.S. citizens. For more information, contact the Center on Philanthropy, (317) 684-8911, or visit the Web site.
