The Public Safety and Security Management Program (formerly the Emergency Management Program) is specifically designed to prepare you to assume leadership and professional career positions in government, non-profit agencies, and the private sector after graduation.
Effective 2006, new majors are accepted into the online program only. The online program will provide you with the opportunity to advance professionally and academically by taking requisite courses through part-time study.
