Emergency Management Leadership Program

The Johns Hopkins University Emergency Management Leadership Program is an intense course of graduate study leading to a Master of Science in Management degree. The Emergency Management Leadership Program is designed to meet the needs of professionals committed to and responsible for emergency management and readiness.

Emergency management is a rapidly evolving profession. From its roots in Civil Defense, it has emerged into a field in which leaders assume responsibility for identifying risk, assigning agency roles, integrating incident command, dispersing funds, engaging the public, and implementing countermeasures and mitigation strategies. The new role and mission calls for innovation, challenges to long-standing traditions, and, above all, exceptional leaders.
