Nonprofit activities have garnered much attention in the past few years as an alternative development method for the global economy. However, despite its potentials, these activities are relatively unknown and have a limited outreach. Academia help resolve this knowledge gap and help generate and convey a better understanding about these activities. One way is to develop postgraduate Socioeconomics programs in Latin America and Spain. This is an exploratory study that gauges interest among universities in offering a graduate program option in Socioeconomics, an area of Economics aimed at a more inclusive and fair economic development of communities and nations. The article also considers curricular aspects required for a Master´s program in this area of interest. This study may be of interest to economists and policy-makers, academics, curriculum specialists and university authorities.

Keywords : Social Economics; Postgraduate Education; University Curriculum.
