About Frontier Innovation University

Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.

Overview

This MSc is for people who already staff Minnesota nonprofits, community foundations, and public-adjacent charities. Frontier Innovation University will not place you at a foundation, will not grant a fundraising licence, and will not put donor logos on the page. You will read a 990, design a board packet, and cost programmes through Minnesota’s winter service calendar. Tuition-free online and Austin campus share one standard. Capstones use public 990s or anonymised organisational data. Institutional HLC/DEAC story only—no extra marks. Identity-checked assessment applies whether you study online or on campus.

Delivered on campus in Austin with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.

**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
