The minor in Emergency Management and Homeland Security provides training covering the comprehensive disaster management cycle (emergency planning, mitigation, response, and recovery). Students completing this minor will gain additional insight and knowledge that supports employment in various federal, state and local government organizations and their partner organizations; for example, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Health & Safety Administration, the Orange County Emergency Management Division, the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Homeland Security Agency.

Students must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program to declare this minor. The program consists of five core courses (15 credits), and one restricted elective course (3 credits).
