Who We Are

EMHS has existed as a research center at Florida State University since the late 70's and has been teaching classes since 1996. Our faculty and staff are passionate and highly involved; we are dedicated to giving students the best education possible. EMHS provides relevant, realistic, and exciting coursework related to classic emergency management, unmanned aircraft systems, terrorism and counter-terrorism, and intelligence studies to over 1200 students per semester. We also understand that not everyone is a traditional university student. We offer classes in the evening and online to fit a variety of schedules and time constraints.

Get more than a degree! We have opportunities large and small for students to go outside the classroom and experience learning in new ways. Our students have conducted service learning by planning for hurricanes in Haiti, working real disasters in EOCs, training citizens on disaster preparedness in Nepal, and more. We continuously offer opportunities to work in a hands-on environment - including the Disaster Intelligence Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) - and each are designed to get students safely into the disaster management environment and learn by doing.

Internships are a key pathway to employment in the field, and our Internship program is robust and effective. Our team of faculty and staff work constantly building relationships with agencies who need interns, developing students for success in the professional environment, and placing qualified students in exciting opportunities. Our students intern in state and local emergency management agencies, U.S. Military Unified Combatant Commands, interagency and military commands, federal agencies, private sector companies, and more. These opportunies are a critical component to a successful career.
