Comprehensive emergency management and homeland security is a complex field that requires expertise in multiple areas. This highly-specialized degree will cover the planning, management, logistics, response, relief, recovery and economics associated with managing emergency situations. This is a 16-month Master’s degree requiring completion of 45 credits over four semesters of study. Included in the tuition and curriculum is an off-site study component which consists of a 7-10 day on-site excursion. To accommodate working professionals, classes meet on Friday evenings and Saturday day.
