This leadership and management degree program is part of a guided career pathway designed to prepare students to become 21st century emergency management professionals. The EM program is taught primarily online to train adults to oversee all-hazard emergency planning and training programs, coordinate disaster planning, and coordinate response and recovery efforts. Traditional career pathways into emergency management jobs have evolved, and an industry need for EM professionals with complex, cross-functional jobs requires new skill sets. There is a growing need in all sectors of the community for agile career professionals who understand the complex nature of emergency preparedness, disaster management and homeland security, including cyber security.
