PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Emergencies happen every day, and everywhere with lives hanging in the balance. Responses require a dynamic and unique set of skills that can withstand the stress of high-pressure situations. If an exciting and extraordinary career is what you're looking for, and if you want to contribute to society in a meaningful way, the Emergency Management program will give you the opportunity to be the best you can be.
YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE
This one-year, online Emergency Management graduate certificate program will cover all aspects of the established comprehensive emergency management programs including disaster preparedness, coordinating emergency response, and best practices in dealing with the preparation for, the response to, and the recovery from the aftermath of various catastrophes. You'll tackle project management, risk assessment theories, mitigation and risk prevention, as well as response and recovery techniques, and business continuity, all while understanding and cultivating effective communication skills that are essential to emergency management.
Although focusing on the virtual learning experience, students will also attend two in-person classroom sessions, one in each semester. These in-person sessions will not only provide students with provincial certification opportunities, but also the ability to apply academic teachings in the hands-on development and delivery of a tabletop emergency management exercise to a community partner. You'll have the flexibility to study in a mix of online and in-class learning, tailored to your schedule and your needs. You will also take part in a field placement program, again that is flexible and tailored to individual needs, where students will work side by side with emergency managers in a wide variety of environments.
As a graduate, you’ll be ready to work within either the private or public sectors in positions relating to emergency management planning. Your work will be largely done behind the scenes liaising with community partners to ensure lives are saved and property is protected.
