我们的紧急管理和国土安全理科学士学位使学生能够管理和理解风险，使社会可以承受自然和/或技术危害。学生将通过四个阶段的方法学习特定和适用的技能，以正确管理灾难系统。随着灾难和重大紧急事件变得更加频繁和昂贵，以及响应不断变得更加复杂，该行业继续发展。此外，联邦和州立法增加了各级政府以及医院，企业和行业对熟练技术人员的应急计划和准备的需求。紧急管理正在为公共和私人机构管理灾难，而满足这一需求的教育在阿克伦大学进行。
Our Bachelor of Science in Emergency Management and Homeland Security degree prepares students to manage and understand risk so that societies can live with natural and/or technological hazards. Students learn specific and applicable skills to properly manage the system of disasters through a four-phase approach. This profession continues to grow as disasters and major emergencies become more frequent and costly, and as response continues to become more complex. In addition, federal and state legislation has increased the demand at all levels of government and in hospitals, businesses and industries for well-educated individuals skilled in emergency planning and preparedness. Emergency management is managing disasters for both public and private institutions, and the education to meet that need is here at The University of Akron.<br>Students are required to gain practical professional experience with a senior internship. Participation provides students with firsthand, on-the-job experience in Emergency Management and Homeland Security. Students are placed in areas of interest to connect academic learning to job employment and career opportunity.
