About Bachelor of Science - Emergency Management and Homeland Security
University of Akron Bachelor of Science in Emergency Management and Homeland Security degree prepares students to manage and understand risk so that societies can live with natural and/or technological hazards. Students learn specific and applicable skills to properly manage the system of disasters through a four-phase approach. This profession continues to grow as disasters and major emergencies become more frequent and costly, and as response continues to become more complex.
In addition, federal and state legislation has increased the demand at all levels of government and in hospitals, businesses and industries for well-educated individuals skilled in emergency planning and preparedness. Emergency management is managing disasters for both public and private institutions, and the education to meet that need is here at The University of Akron.

- Students begin the degree as freshmen in the traditional pathway. Included in this pathway is 15 credits of specialty coursework where students can have an Emergency Management and Homeland Security program specialty or concentration.
- As a “step up” degree, students can transfer in as juniors building upon a strong technical program.
