The MPS/HSA degree is designed to meet the educational needs of individuals involved or interested in humanitarian assistance programs, whether in disaster relief or sustainability programs. Students will develop theoretical and professional knowledge to operate and conduct humanitarian response missions with non-governmental, governmental, and international organizations.
This program provides students with the broad base knowledge and skills to conduct successful sustainable community renewal and disaster relief programs. Graduates will be efficient and flexible enough to meet immediate local needs in disaster areas, including nutrition, water resources, and the control and prevention of infectious disease.
Students can choose courses related to disaster relief or sustainability. Alternatively, students can select courses from both areas depending on their interests.
The MPS requires 36 graduate-level credits that include 30 credit hours of course work and 6 credit hours of a capstone project towards the end of the program. The MPS also includes an issues-based course as a two-week on-site residency requirement.
