The Master of Science Degree in Emergency Services Administration at CSULB is designed to provide students with the conceptual foundation and managerial communication and analytical skills required for designing, testing, and implementing an effective response to workplace and community emergencies. Such emergencies may involve the potential loss of human life and property due to fire, explosion, release of hazardous chemicals, structural failures, natural calamities, and terrorist acts. The program has two major purposes:

1. To provide an understanding of the administration and management of emergency managers, and

2. To prepare students for leadership roles in emergency disaster administration by stressing independent research, communication and writing skills, exposure to experts, and practical experiences of respected emergency services and disaster organizations, both nationally and internationally.

The intended audiences are practitioners from the public and private sectors who are engaged in the delivery or coordination of emergency services.

Dr. Kreysa is attending the EMI Higher Education Conference to network with other faculty and professionals in the field and to keep up to date with regard to effective teaching methodologies, curricula, technology, and the developing needs of professionals in the discipline.
