Disaster Management Advanced Certificate

Location(s): Health Science Campus


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs

Graduates of the Disaster Management Certificate program are prepared to develop and implement educational programs for first responders, community-based organizations, voluntary organizations and academic institutions. Interested students need not be nursing majors but are required to apply to matriculate into the Disaster Management Certificate program. This program is open to both matriculated graduate and post-master’s graduate students in the Decker School of Nursing who are interested in disaster management. Because public health agencies are often located in rural areas and many of the employees of these agencies are unable to attend three-hour, on-campus classes on a weekly basis, the Disaster Management Certificate program is offered in an online hybrid format. Each course meets several times per semester on campus. This allows students and faculty to meet in person; provides time for instruction on use of “Brightspace” (formerly myCourses); allows for hazmat demonstrations, drills and tabletops; and allows students to present their projects. The certificate in disaster management requires the successful completion of four graduate courses for a total of 12 credits.

Students who are currently enrolled must complete an Application for Add-On Graduate Certification Form to add the certificate code to the academic record, and students must submit the Certificate Processing Fees form in the semester in which they plan to graduate. Students who are not currently enrolled in a degree program must complete a Stand-Alone Certificate Program Application through the Graduate School and pay an application fee.
