About This Program
American Military University (AMU) offers a dual master’s degree in emergency and disaster management and homeland security.
This online program provides the core courses of both degrees, which are naturally synergistic disciplines. As part of the MA in Emergency and Disaster Management and MA in Homeland Security program, you explore crisis action planning, including impacts of global warming. You also evaluate relationships among local, state, and federal agencies during operations. Topics include:
- Emergency management mitigation
- Hazard analysis
- Terrorism
Faculty—some are board-certified emergency managers (CEM) or work in government agencies, national safety, or security—lead your learning.
The dual master’s in emergency and disaster management and homeland security is accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress.
What You Will Do
- Organize emergency management functions and activities using contemporary emergency and disaster management concepts and federal guidelines
- Formulate policies, procedures, and protocols to allow seamless agency integration in both small and large emergency operations centers assuring compliance with the National Response Plan and National Incident Management System
- Perform economic and social analyses necessary to provide funding recommendations to appropriate fiscal authorities
- Evaluate specific domestic security challenges for the 21st century

1Alumni Graduated with No APUS-incurred Student Loan Debt As of December 31, 2020
Includes alumni who graduated with an associate, bachelor's, or master's degree from APUS. Student loan debt is defined as student loans and private education loans used for tuition, fees, living expenses, and book costs associated with courses taken at APUS. Many APUS students receive military tuition assistance and veterans education benefits, which are not student loan debt.
*Cost Per Credit Hour
To minimize out-of-pocket costs, U.S. active-duty servicemembers, their spouse/dependents, National Guard members, and Reservists receive a tuition grant that caps undergraduate, master's degree, and graduate certificate tuition at $250/credit hour. In addition, a university book grant provides no-cost textbooks and ebooks for all undergraduates and military-tuition-grant-eligible master’s-level students.
