Degree Overview
Emergency services organizations are a critical part of our society. Response to, and protection from, fire, hazardous materials, public safety threats, and other emergencies are crucial to the public welfare. The management and leadership of public safety personnel, whether in law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services, emergency telecommunications, or corrections, are vital to the success of these organizations in carrying out their mission of protecting and serving the public.
This is a six-course, 18-credit, Graduate Certificate program that can be completed within one year. The plan of study includes five required core courses, and a choice of one other emergency management elective course. Courses taken in completion of the certificate can be applied to the M.S. in Emergency Management Program.
