New Online Cert: Emergency Mangement and Continuity Planning

Since this is new and online, I'm passing it along. It looks like they put a lot of thought into designing this one, instead of just cut and pasting courses from various departments and calling that a certificate.

New Certificate Program: Emergency Management and Continuity Planning

With the launch of a landmark partnership between Illinois public universities, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the UIC School of Public Health and the UIC College of Business Administration, the Emergency Management and Continuity Planning Online Certificate Program (EMCP) was created as part of the new homeland security field of study program in higher education for the state of Illinois.

The EMCP Certificate Program is designed to provide emergency managers, business managers, public and private sector employees and more, with the skills they need to formulate and execute the best possible response to a wide range of emergencies and disasters_from extreme weather to supply chain disruptions to a terrorist attack.

The EMCP certificate is delivered entirely online and will promote the student-expert interaction through discussion groups and the use of Collaboration Sessions within the Blackboard system at UIC. All EMCP courses will focus on and promote the student’s knowledge and training in:
¨ Communications management
