Expertly assist communities to become stronger and more resilient in the face of man-made and natural disasters. Through the Executive Master of Professional Studies in Emergency and Disaster Management program at Georgetown University, you can do just that by gaining the strategic and critical thinking skills you will need as a leader in the rapidly evolving profession of emergency management.

In this year-long cohort program, students will learn from emergency management experts with real world experience. Intensive field study introduces students to new challenges and new capabilities in the field. Sophisticated disaster simulations challenge students to apply real-time critical analysis to lifelike disaster scenarios and simulations.

Once you’ve completed the program’s experiential journey through five graduate-level learning modules, you will have the critical thinking and leadership skills to:

• Respond to a range of uncertain, always-evolving disaster management complexities.
• Anticipate needs, evaluate alternative approaches and make critical decisions that facilitate “whole community” disaster response and disaster recovery operations.
• Work within the boundaries of emergency management ethics, laws and regulations.
