This presentation presents a curriculum framework tailored to the evolving needs of managers in the nonprofit sector within a university setting. As nonprofit organizations grow increasingly complex and data-driven, future professionals must possess a versatile skill set, encompassing financial management, program evaluation, and stakeholder engagement, while upholding strong ethical and mission-oriented principles. Framed with experiential learning and human capital theories, the presentation addresses this need by designing a competency-based curriculum that integrates experiential learning and human capital development to equip accounting and business students with theoretical foundations and practical skills. The curriculum model blends business and policy insights, providing students with real-world skills through internships, project-based learning, and partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
