Emergency/Disaster Response Management Minor: 18 Credit Hours
The emergency/disaster response management minor has a multidiscipline structure that is designed to allow students to supplement their major degree program with the resident knowledge of reacting to and operating in a rapidly deteriorating environment caused by a major natural or manmade disaster or emergency. For example, students may wish to major in criminal justice and minor in emergency/disaster response management which will enhance their skills and abilities needed when responding to the occurrence of a terrorist attack or the aftermath of an earthquake. Students with the following majors would find this minor to be of particular interest: criminal justice, nursing, geosciences, biology, chemistry, education, public administration, sports management, and engineering technology.
A minor is a secondary area of study outside of the major program of study with a structured curriculum composed of at least 18 semester credit hours of which at least 9 hours must be at the 3000-level or above.
Required Courses: 6 Credit Hours
Guided Electives: 12 Credit Hours
