The field of emergency management has advanced in recent decades, resulting in an
increase in demand for qualified professionals. Citizens benefit from degreed crisis
managers in the event of natural or man-made disasters. Homeland Security agencies
are seeking qualified professionals with experience and education.
UCM has partnered with the Warrensburg Fire Department to provide an opportunity for
college students to gain work experience while going to school. Perks of the program
include: dorm style room (rent free), access to kitchen, laundry, computer, and fully
equipped fitness room.
Students will complete 48 hours of ride time per month under the direction of the
Captain and be included in all the activities of the crew they are assisting. Compensation
is possible for certain calls depending upon student qualifications and needs at the
scene.
Undergraduate students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours and maintain a
2.0 GPA.

The UCM undergraduate catalog contains several Transfer Guides that can help you map out your bachelor's degree plan.
The courses you must take at UCM will depend on the degree you have. Typically, 100%
of courses taken at any regionally accredited college or university will transfer
and count towards your bachelor's degree. Your Success Advisor can assess your transcripts
and help you create a firm completion plan (see the table above to find your Advisor!)
An Associate of Arts (AA) degree typically fulfills all General Education requirements,
so all you will need to take at UCM is your Crisis & Disaster Management core and
focus area.
An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree typically does not include enough courses
to fulfill all General Education requirements, so you will need to consult with your
Success Advisor about which classes you still need.
The CDM program requires CHEM 1103 or CHEM 1104 as part of the General Education curriculum.
If you have questions about this requirement or have taken a different general education
science with or without a lab, contact the program coordinator.
Each certificate will provide you with knowledge of specific roles and responsibilities
