All aspects of society can be impacted by disasters, so the emergency management major is built on a core of sociology and anthropology courses:

• ANTH 111, Introduction to Anthropology
• SOC 110, Introduction to Sociology
• SOC 340, Social Research Methods
• SOC 341, Social Research Methods Lab
• SOC 422, Development of Social Theory

Related to this sociology core, the major requires STAT 330 as a prerequisite or co-requisite for SOC 340, but STAT 330 does not count toward the 50 credits in the major. Additionally, the major consists of the following courses

• EMGT 101, Emergencies, Disasters & Catastrophies
• EMGT 261, Disaster Preparedness
• EMGT 262, Disaster Mitigation
• EMGT 263, Disaster Response
• EMGT 264, Disaster Recovery
• EMGT 414, Spatial Analysis in Emergency Management (GIS)
