Nonprofit Management Questions

[Rachel H.]

Hello! I am applying to MS or MBA in Nonprofit Management programs for Fall '17, and haven't seen many threads about these programs, so I have questions for anyone who's applying or enrolled: 

• How many years of work experience did you and your classmates have when you enrolled? I will be 2 years post-undergrad. Some program brochures said the average student has between 6-8 years of experience? 
• What opportunities has your MBA/MPA/MS degree opened? Is it a good investment to get this degree instead of working in a nonprofit for the same length of time? 
• Are online/distance learning Nonprofit Management programs viewed favorably by employers?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
