All of the Hauser Center's educational initiatives are geared toward a combination of goals: a) teaching creative, critical thinking about the role and functioning of nonprofits and other organizations in civil society; and, b) building skills that can create effective organizations with long-term capacity.  We are responsible for designing and delivering a coherent curriculum that reflects both the current state of the sector and its relationship with broader society, and best prepares students for thoughtful engagement with it. Because we are a university research center with a commitment to practitioners, our students are both those pursing academic degrees at Harvard and those currently working in the field. 

The Center's education initiatives include:

• Development and teaching of nonprofit related graduate courses. See 2007-2008 courses.*  

• Development and teaching of executive education courses for seasoned practitioners.

• Creation of case studies and other curricular materials.

• Production of an Annual Guide to Nonprofit Courses.

• Working with educational partners around the world to deliver curricula to nonprofit and civil society leaders--in person, and through distance learning.
