Disaster Resilience & Emergency Management
Communities face growing threats from natural and human-made hazards, often intensified by social, economic and political challenges, demanding more than leadership, but vision.
DREM Major
The Bachelor’s in Disaster Resilience & Emergency Management (DREM) prepares students to think critically, solve complex problems and lead collaboratively. Students explore all phases of the disaster cycle: preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery, with a focus on building resilient communities.
Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experience, graduates are ready to lead across government, education, healthcare, business and nonprofit sectors.
DREM Minor
The DREM minor helps students examine how social, economic, political and environmental systems intersect with risk and disaster. Students learn to apply a “disaster lens” within their chosen field, whether in business, healthcare, education or beyond, to reduce risk and strengthen community resilience.
No matter your major, you can play a role in creating communities that are better prepared for what’s ahead.
