Emergency Planning and Response

Be prepared to prevent, mitigate and assess emergencies through the emergency planning and response program, designed for current or aspiring emergency response professionals.

From preparedness through to response and recovery, learn each step of the process and be better positioned to take on leadership roles in security and emergency situations.

The skills in leadership, organization and communication you can develop in this program are widely applicable, and you'll also have the opportunity to understand the financial aspects of emergency planning and preparedness. You can earn your MS in security management with a concentration in emergency planning and response entirely online through the University of Denver's University College, and supplement your degree with elective courses in other security fields, including organizational security and information security.
