About the Program
This interdisciplinary curriculum offers courses that give students employable skills in preparing, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from natural, manmade, and technological incidents. Courses also enable students to identify, integrate, and allocate resources that exist in the non-profit, private, and public sectors within an emphasis on coordinating the above with all levels of governmental response agencies at the local, county, and federal levels.
This curriculum includes components of homeland security that will assist the emergency responder in developing a heightened awareness of the identification of the history and origins of threats we currently endure, identification of the types of incidents as they occur, the immediate impacts incidents bear on the communities in which they occur, and recognition and remediation of the after effects of incidents as they impact both the communities and responders.
