LSU-Shreveport Institute for Human Service Administration

The Institute for Human Services and Public Policy was established in 2001 to conduct research and disseminate knowledge about nonprofit organizations and social research. We reach this goal by offering nonprofit education programs, professional development seminars, and quality research and statistical analysis to clients.

The IHSPP offers several academic and noncredit programs including the Nonprofit Leadership Certificate Program, the Master of Science in Human Services Administration, and the Certificate in Nonprofit Administration. Students enjoy the convenience of 100% online learning while obtaining an advanced knowledge of strategic nonprofit relations and what it takes to be a strong leader in today's nonprofit workforce.

The IHSPP also specializes in conducting survey research and statistical analysis for businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government entities. We provide a variety of research services including program evaluations, focus groups, and consumer/patient and employee satisfaction surveys. We work with organizations to evaluate the influences that service programs have on the community and provide recommendations for sustainability and improvement.
