Previous efforts to map and compare nonprofit management education across countries have proved difficult due to methodological issues, conceptual developments, and empirical focus. Based in recent empirical research from Sweden, this article presents an analytical framework that focuses on credit‐ and noncredit‐based education, syllabi content, and organization of programs and courses and therefore allows for comparisons and analysis of nonprofit management education across countries. This framework may also contribute to the discussion on the best place for nonprofit management education and provide insights into the relationship between national nonprofit sector contexts and nonprofit management education.
