University of Chicago offers preparedness master's
The Graham School of The University of Chicago has introduced a master's of science in threat and response management program, an interdisciplinary course of study in emergency preparedness. The program provides students with education in understanding and managing all aspects of a major public health hazard — such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and man-made threats — from preparation through response and recovery.
The university considers all professionals responsible for preserving and protecting the public's health and safety, including medicine and public health, as appropriate candidates for the program,
The program is designed as a two-year curriculum, and it is taught by a faculty comprised of leaders in the threat-management field, many of whom have been involved directly in the planning for or responding to major hazards affecting public safety.
