Overview

The Emergency and Disaster Health Systems programme at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is primarily focused on preparing professionals for leadership roles requiring skills in planning, research, management, development, leadership and organizational operations.

Key facts

Each programme option is centered on a common core of coursework offered through the emergency and disaster health systems department; the options then diverge into the described specialty. In special cases, option requirements are combined to meet an individual’s need for such programme design. Students must take a minimum of 30 credit hours of course and seminar work.

Thesis students must complete a satisfactory research project either in seminar work, or in a more formal manner, through the thesis option. Non-thesis students must complete either a research or capstone project. With continuous full-time enrollment each semester, students may expect to complete the degree in about two years, depending upon the option chosen and course availability.
