Curriculum

• EADP courses and descriptions-UNT Undergraduate Catalog

• Required Courses

The EADP major courses provide the student with the theoretical basis, technical expertise, and skills necessary to succeed in the emergency management field. Some courses are REQUIRED for the major (EADP 3010, 3035, 3045, 3055, 3080 (or PADM 3020), 4080, and PADM 3410), while other EADP courses are ELECTIVES for the major (EADP 2700, 4000, 4010, 4015, 4020, 4030, 4040, 4050, 4060, 4065, 4090, and 4980).  See below for a list of electives outside EADP. 

In addition to the seven required courses, up to 6 hours of EADP 4800 and/or 4810, (Internship Preparation/Internship Practicum in Emergency Management), are required of students with no prior relevant professional experience. The remaining hours for the major may consist of choices from other EADP courses, or up to six hours from complementary disciplines including public administration, geography, sociology, management, and insurance. By allowing students to choose from these different fields of study, each student has the opportunity to tailor his/her degree for any sector of emergency management (public, private, non-profit) or level of government (local, state federal). Faculty encourage students to choose these courses based on each student's career goals.
