On-Site Study Component

A unique feature of this program is that, included in the tuition and integrated into the curriculum, is a 7-10 day on-site learning program. This on-site study component involves a "hands-on" approach to Emergency and Disaster Management and is often sponsored by the United Stated Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other domestic and overseas partners. In past years, students traveled to to Israel to meet with top Israeli preparedness experts to discuss a range of issues and scenarios such as:

• An integrated inter-agency response to chemical attack
• Media response to a disaster
• Population conduct in a disaster
• Dealing with sites of destruction
• Medical communities response to natural disaster
• Biological threats
• Preparedness for businesses
