Emergency Management

The Emergency Management Certificates provide undergraduate students with an all-hazards approach to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters. Students develop an understanding of emergency planning, incident management, operational coordination, recovery efforts, and after-action assessment. They also build practical skills in ethical decision-making, critical thinking, strategic planning, risk and vulnerability assessment, and collaboration with agencies, organizations, and community stakeholders. These programs provide valuable preparation for students interested in emergency management, public safety, healthcare, government, nonprofit organizations, business continuity, and other fields that require effective planning and response during times of crisis.

These certificates can be completed alone or alongside another program and are offered on both the main campus and online.

To receive one of these certificates, students will complete 12 credits. Certificates can be taken independently or in conjuction with another program and are offered both in a face-to-face format and online.

Official requirements are found in the Andrews University Bulletin at bulletin.andrews.edu

These certificates can be completed by a combination of face-to-face and online courses, or solely online. Students who have completed secondary/high school or the equivalent may apply to the undergraduate certificate while those who have completed a bachelor's degree or equivalent may apply to the graduate certificate.
