“The University of New Haven’s online M.S. in Emergency Management has provided an exceptional learning platform allowing me to succeed in this expanding field. The individualized attention extended by the University’s staff has made the online experience more personable than I could have imagined. My professors have been outstanding and have provided my classmates and I the necessary tools, information and current practices emergency managers use today. Since enrolling in the program, I have incorporated many of the models and knowledge gained from my classes and applied them to my current job tasks at the fire department.”

“I am continually impressed by the University of New Haven staff and professors. As a veteran and out-of-state student, I was unsure at the level of attention I would receive from any online master’s program, but as I am nearing the end of my degree, I know I made the right choice by attending UNH. The admissions staff for the Emergency Management Graduate Department, VA liaisons, financial aid personnel, and university bookstore have all gone above and beyond to respond quickly and address any concerns I have had. All of my professors have been readily available through email or phone to answer any questions, working with my schedule and the time difference. I would highly recommend this university to anyone looking for a flexible, challenging, and thorough online Emergency Management program!”
