Welcome
As the floodwaters rise, the hurricane approaches, the wildfire rages, or the tornado bears down on your community, are you the person that wants to help the survivors and then work to assure that when this happens again your community will have programs in place to reduce the damage and harm in the future?
The mission of the Emergency Management Administration (EMA) program is to prepare firefighters, police officers, emergency responders, military personnel, private-sector, and other emergency-services professionals for advanced levels of administration and management within the emergency services professions.
A bachelor’s degree will open up a world of new opportunities to advance your career. The Emergency Management Administration program at WT is one of the best programs in Texas. We offer a 100% online Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences Degree. Our program provides students with foundational and advanced knowledge and a broad range of administrative skills in preventing, planning, and preparing for, responding to, and recovering from unpredictable, dangerous, and sometimes catastrophic situations that require inter-agency and/or inter-jurisdictional involvement.
