The Executive MS in Crisis & Emergency Management program offers an innovative approach to Crisis & Emergency Management (CEM) education. Students will enhance their skills through the lens of organizations dealing with complex systems thinking and practice—and take a contextual shift from focusing on a disaster to actually integrating CEM into all organizational processes.

Program Highlights

Our fully online and asynchronous program is designed for individuals who hold mid- to high-level positions in emergency management, who desire to build on their leadership skills, and who are seeking high-quality education that leverages their skills in organizational continuity and resilience.

Enabling students to continue working in their field, the accelerated curriculum features 8-week blocks of courses. Additional highlights include:

  • Competitive pricing
  • Accelerated curriculum
  • Networking opportunities

Note: Students are required to attend the three-day International Association of Emergency Managers National Conference, offering the opportunities to:

  • Network with multiple organizational types in one setting
  • Present their Capstone work
