Show More The general public and government appointees are demanding higher levels of training and education for those who lead our nation's first response teams to catastrophic disasters, terrorist incidents, and typical emergencies. This degree program is designed for emergency services personnel who want to increase their administrative and management knowledge as well as occupational and life safety awareness. It also prepares students to face new challenges in technology, human resource management, and fiscal responsibility.

This degree program closely follows the FESHE model and is designed to: - Give graduates administrative and management knowledge as well as a solid baccalaureate foundation - Provide current information regarding technology, human resource management, and fiscal responsibility in preparation for leadership roles - Teach occupational and life safety awareness - Impart learning in ethics, global awareness, operations, psychology, and research methods Entry RequirementsTo apply to Kaplan University’s undergraduate programs, you must meet one of the following standards: - Are a high school graduate - Possess a General Education Development (GED) certificate or state-specific equivalency diploma - Possess a Home Study certificate or transcript from a Home Study program that is equivalent to high school level and recognized by your home state, and be beyond the age of compulsory attendance in that state - Are a high school senior eligible to apply and submit proof of high school graduation

Show More The Bachelor of Emergency Management aims to develop a practical as well as theoretical base for those people who have responsibilities in the field of Emergency Risk Management. The course is designed to meet the needs and interests of a variety of client groups ranging from public bodies concerned with the protection of life and property such as local government, the police, fire, ambulance, state emergency services and community and health services to a myriad of private sector groups (e.g. the insurance industry, manufacturing industry). Research has shown that the amount of damage being caused to communities around the world from both natural and technological hazards is increasing steadily. The management of natural and technological disasters has been formalised through government legislation establishing emergency management organisations which must develop and maintain community counter-disaster preparedness and plans at all levels of the community. To enable our communities to become more resilient and sustainable from an emergency management perspective, we must ensure that they continue to develop their emergency risk management capabilities. The development and conduct of emergency management activities (e.g. hazard and risk assessments, emergency management plan development, operations management strategy development, community recovery strategy development) will assist in reversing the hazard trend by minimising the risk of hazards occurring and the consequences when they do occur. Such activities are an essential aspect of comprehensive emergency management practice for communities. Entry RequirementsTo be admitted into the course, prospective students need to indicate their likelihood of success through: previous studies, and other attainments and experience.
