The primary class that was added the last time, about two years ago, focused on outcomes assessment. 'We realized that was a missing part of our nonprofit program, so all students have to take that class,' he said. 'Accountability is now a big buzz word in nonprofits, tracking success and outcomes, it's a whole class that keys on that.'"
