The graduate concentration in Emergency Management and
Homeland Security (EMHS) provides advanced education in the management of
emergencies, hazards, disasters, and homeland security. The EMHS program is
designed to meet the needs of students who wish to work, or are currently working,
in the field of emergency management and homeland security.
The EMHS program applies an interdisciplinary approach
to education that
emphasizes high-level skills of critical
thinking, learning, adaptation, and policy analysis, and
focuses on the all-hazards emergency management
model (encompassing natural hazards, technological hazards, and
terrorism).
Students completing the EMHS concentration program
will have the knowledge and skills necessary to assess and manage a broad range
of hazards and disasters, and to understand the policy environment in which
emergency management occurs.
Students interested in obtaining a concentration in
EMHS within a Master of Public Administration (MPA) or Master of Criminal
Justice program must apply and enroll in the MPA or MCJ program within the
School of Public Affairs (SPA) and must adhere to all master degree program
requirements.
