Emergency and Public Safety Services
The Master of Science in Emergency and Public Safety Services is designed to expand the skills and knowledge of individuals interested in the broad arena of public safety services. This includes those involved in prehospital services from clinical care and disaster management to those in ambulatory services. Fire, police, rescue, telecommunication, and EMS personnel are all included in the scope of public safety services. There are many overlapping issues between the services, which allows for a coherent expansion of curricula to meet the educational needs of all participants.
Objectives
The goals and objectives of the Emergency and Public Safety Services program are to:
- Demonstrate a broader knowledge base and new applications of clinically relevant information that will extend the student’s professional competence
- Facilitate the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct independent research
- Promote leadership and management in the public-services arena
- Provide options for an employment progression for prehospital providers in their field of interest
- Continue the growth of professionalism in public safety services by providing opportunities for students to take an active role in shaping policies and practices that affect the direction of the profession
- Positively affect the communities in which they serve and extend the University’s reach into the community
- Develop a flexible curriculum that allows for specialization into one of three primary educational areas pertinent to emergency management
