Through Red Rocks
Community College, students can earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree or
a Certificate in Emergency Management Planning. All courses are offered ONLINE.
To complete our Associate of Applied Science Degree in Emergency Management and
Planning requires the completion of 60 credit hours of courses, including 15
hours of General Education courses, 15 hours of Electives and 30 credit hours
(ten courses) of core EMP courses.
The Red Rocks spring
semester starts on January 21, 2014.
This spring we will be offering EMP 101, EMP 105, EMP 107, EMP 242, EMP
247, and EMP 291. More detailed
information about our program is available at: http://www.rrcc.edu/catalogs/sheets/EmergencyManagementAndPlanning.pdf
Students can take a
course without the need for long distance travel and can set their own
schedule. Since ONLINE courses don't have a set classroom time, students
can participate at any hour.... now the school is coming to the student, saving time and
money. Prospective students can apply to Red Rocks and register for
classes totally ONLINE at http://www.rrcc.edu/.
Completed courses from
other colleges or accredited institutions, which correspond to our EMP course
requirements, can be transferred to Red Rocks, at no cost, after submitted
transcripts are reviewed for applicability toward our EMP Program. When
requesting credit for courses for which you have certificates or are from non-accredited
institutions such as FEMA, you need to go through what we call our "Credit
for Prior Learning Program". At least 15 hours (5 EMP courses) must
be taken through Red Rocks.
This program was started in 1999 and is
recognized by FEMA as one of the pioneering national ONLINE Emergency
Management programs and is supported by the Colorado Office of Emergency
Management. Floods, tornadoes,
hurricanes, train wrecks, terrorist attacks and hazardous chemical spills are
examples of emergencies in which life and property are endangered. The EM
professional’s ability to perform essential work in a disaster requires skills
in emergency operations and management. How well a community or an
organization prepares for and deals with these and other kinds of disasters can
affect not only their economic viability but people’s lives.
