摘要
The gap between universities and the knowledge they generate and teach, on the one hand, and practitioners and the problems they confront, on the other, has been discussed by scholars in a number of applied fields. This article considers how those who design and run nonprofit academic programs might minimize the theorypractice gap problem. It presents a case study of one master of arts degree program focused on nonprofit leadership and management and discusses program development, the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council's curricular guidelines, applied learning, and practitioner instructors and quality instruction.
