This course is a two day interactive workshop designed to assist minority and minority-serving institutions of higher education (IHEs) in establishing or enhancing Emergency Management (EM) courses or programs in their institutions. It addresses issues unique to them, and begins the process of identifying and overcoming institutional roadblocks to increasing their schools’ EM-related offerings.

The course provides the skills and knowledge for establishing an emergency management or homeland security degree program or courses at your college or university. Travel is reimbursable and there is no tuition or lodging costs. The participant’s only expense is the cost of meals while here.
