The ECEM Degree is completed in 24 months by participants by taking twelve graduate level courses that are organized into four six month long modules of three courses which meet both online and on-campus.   Each module requires that students meet at least once on campus for a three-day weekend to maximize the learning experience.  Students enter the program as a cohort of students with a cross-section of experiences and backgrounds in applicable fields so that they may learn from one another in addition to interacting with experienced faculty and the coursework.  Start date for Fall, 2011 is July 5 and the first on-campus session is July 16-18.  End date for the program is 6/15/2012. Because emergency management is both a profession and a field of study, this program addresses the context within which emergencies are managed as well as the five stages of disaster management: prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response,  and recovery.  Housed within the Department of Public Administration, this degree is designed to give students the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to become leaders in their profession.  More specifically, the Mission of the program is to provide a well-rounded graduate learning experience to current and future crisis and emergency management leaders for effectively addressing natural, intentional, and technical disasters.
