Fire/EMS Executive Leadership Program
Master of Science in Management
The role and mission of Fire and Emergency Medical Services agencies call for innovative approaches to leadership similar to those that the private sector demands. Today's Fire and Emergency Medical Services executives must continue to restyle departments through preparation, training, and simulation. They must meet the challenges of increased scrutiny in a highly demanding profession with stressful situations, limited resources, shortage of qualified personnel, and more.
If progressive fire and emergency medical services leaders are to succeed in directing active organizations, they must be able to draw upon their knowledge and skills to: establish and maintain integrity and meaningful values; manage planned change; solve complex internal and external problems; foster creativity and trust; manage differences; think and plan strategically; advocate on behalf of their community; and ensure the health and wellness of the first responders.
To address these challenges, the division has developed a master's degree in management with a concentration in Fire and EMS Leadership.
