BS in Emergency Management
The Emergency Management major provides a foundation in fire and emergency services, with related courses in management and administration. The major prepares students for careers in leadership in fire services, emergency management and administrative aspects of emergency medical services.

A capstone course brings students from all three specializations together for an integrative research project.
