Master of Arts [M.A] [Philanthropy and Development] From Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

Today?s development leaders need to be well-equipped to provide strategic direction in a number of arenas?everything from fund development and board governance to navigating ethical and legal issues and understanding the organization.

The unique concentrated learning structure of the Saint Mary?s M.A. in Philanthropy and Development curriculum revolves around three intensive 6-day summer residencies in Winona, Minnesota. Between residencies, students take online courses along with a cohort. This innovative, flexible, and supportive learning environment creates a team-based learning community. Our students are development professionals from all over North America?working in various industries.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition for the M.A. in Philanthropy and Development program follows a per-credit structure. Due to the unique residency format of the program, a room and board fee applies. The fee includes a room with a private bath, snacks, buffet as part of orientation, luncheon toward the end of residency, and access to university services. Students are billed only for meals they eat in the cafeteria during residency.
