Program details
Overview
This applied degree in emergency services is delivered entirely online in an asynchronous format over three years, allowing students already working in the field to continue their careers while studying. The curriculum comprises 17 required courses and five electives focused on integrated management and leadership, including administrative planning, human resources management, strategic business planning, performance management, and organizational behaviour. Two 16-week practicums require students to design and carry out a leadership project applied directly to their own workplace. The program admits direct-entry applicants who hold a related two-year emergency services diploma, such as Emergency Services Technology, EMT-P, Correctional Service, or Policing, as well as indirect-entry applicants with at least 1,200 hours of related education, provided both groups have a minimum of three years of full-time emergency services work experience. It suits working emergency services professionals seeking supervisory and leadership roles without leaving their current position.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows two routes. Direct entry is open to graduates of a related two-year emergency services diploma (such as Emergency Services Technology, EMT-P, Correctional Service, Policing, or Corrections) with a minimum of three years of full-time work experience in the emergency services industry; five years is preferred. Indirect entry requires at least 1,200 hours of related education, supported by official documentation, plus the same minimum three years of full-time emergency services work experience.
