Emergency Management Higher Education
Survey of Emergency Student Body
Emergency management curriculum is a more recent field of study. Over 300 programs are included to the FEMA Higher Education Program database, offering emergency management curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Last year, over 4,700 students graduated with degrees in emergency management. While several studies have identified program status, curriculum and aggregate enrollment for the academic field, few studies have surveyed the students. The purpose of this survey is to gather data to understand 1) reasons students are interested in this field of study, 2) student career goals who take emergency management courses, and 3) student perceptions on their personal workforce readiness.
State of the Community Survey and Report
The purpose of this project was to assess the usefulness of the products and services provided by the FEMA Higher Education program (FEMA Higher Ed) and to collect data on the current status of emergency management programs.
