Providing graduates with the education and skills necessary for successful careers in public service and private industry, the Emergency Management science-based curriculum prepares students for positions in fields such as disaster management, law enforcement, fire science, risk management, business continuity, military service, and health care. The EM program requires students to complete at least two co-ops (six credits each).

Students participate in experiential learning programs with Habitat for Humanity, at the Outdoor Leadership School, or in Guatemala. Certificate options include Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Massachusetts Firefighter I and II certification through Barnstable County.
