Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Liberal Arts

Code: 5689

Available Online
Open to both degree and non-degree students and designed to enhance analytic skills, the certificate emphasizes the social, political, and administrative aspects of disaster management. With human and economic asset exposures and vulnerabilities increasing, reducing the impact of emergencies and disasters is crucial to societal well-being and sustainability in the 21st century. Designed to complement the strengths of more discipline-based graduate degree programs, the 12-hour certificate will be a valuable addition to those programs as well as serving as a standalone certificate for non-degree students.
