    I am trying to find a list of NON-PROFIT universities that have online classes in business, preferably, where you can get your degree entirely online. Can anyone please help with a list of school that match my needs? And it MUST be NON-PROFIT schools. Thanks!

    You didn't specify whether you are interested in undergraduate courses or graduate courses.

    Are you excluding public universities?

    For starters there is Excelsior College (both UG and G degrees in business)

    It's a little ironic that some people think they can learn more about business from an institution that isn't one than from one that is....

    On-line Non-Profit - Kettering University

    My institution, Kettering University (Future Graduate Students - Kettering University), offers several programs on-line. We are non-profit.

    1. MBA with concentrations in leadership, IT, supply chanin mangement, health care and several engineering concentrations for folks with undergraduate engineering backgrounds.

    2. MS in Engineering Management

    3. MS in Operations Management

    4. MS in Engineering - with IE, ME and EE/CE concentrations.

    We deliver via video and BlackBoard. Our tuition may be considered a bit high ($695/credit hour) but we include books in our price.

    Regards - Andy

    You made my day with that observation - nice job. The University of Phoenix may not be AACSB, but how many AACSB schools have their own professional football stadium?

    How is a nonprofit not a business? [Leaving aside that some nonprofits may not be run particularly well...] Doesn't a non-profit institution have to produce a beneficial outcome, a gain of some kind, but simply puts its surplus utility in a different spot on the "balance sheet"?

    Very true - I was president of a not-for-profit for two years and had all the same issues as a business I helped run - in some ways worse because I had quite a few volunteers so getting people to help with non-business related tasks was a pain (and insufficient budget to hire part time help. One of my thoughts for a doctoral dissertation was related to running a nfp sports organization in the hope that it could result in lessons for similar organizations. Any excess funds went into upgrades and prize money.

    You may have to do your own research, because when I did my research back in the day, I found no such list and found myself doing the leg work myself.
