Your first four Center for Nonprofit Management programs do not include accommodations. Most programs are held on our downtown Chicago campus, just off of the Magnificent Mile.You can find a list of nearby hotels on each program's page under the accommodations, fees, and policies drop-down list.
However, most "capstone" programs do include room and board in the list price.
