Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Disaster and Emergency Management (BDEM), offered by the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies at the Keele Campus on a full-time or part-time basis, with entry in fall, winter or summer for first year and upper years. Students study how to plan for and manage crises, including natural-hazard and technological disasters, public health emergencies and security threats, developing decision-making skills for emergency management roles. Ontario Secondary School applicants require ENG4U and either MHF4U or MDM4U, plus four additional 4U or M courses, with an academic average in the low-to-mid 70s and a final academic average of 70% needed to maintain an offer. The program suits students interested in public safety, crisis planning and emergency response who want a dedicated undergraduate credential in disaster and emergency management rather than a specialization within a broader social-science degree.
