Graduate Degree Programs
The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s degree programs bring together an understanding of how philanthropy works with why people give. The school emphasizes a comprehensive approach to the study of philanthropy in society that gives you the knowledge and understanding to be active in the nonprofit field. This broad approach gives you more choices throughout your life to pursue your passions and improve your community locally or globally.
Located on the IU Indianapolis campus, we offer two graduate certificates, and master's and doctorate degrees. We value a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding philanthropy, with courses in the humanities, social sciences and professions. The school’s research and learning environment includes Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, The Fund Raising School, the Mays Family Institute on Diverse Philanthropy, the Research Department, the Payton Philanthropic Studies Library, the Ruth Lilly Special Collection Archives, and the Center for Service and Learning.
