    "description": "<p>The minor in emergency management and homeland security provides students with an opportunity to comprehensively study the disaster management cycle, including emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery. In an age of dense population, increased terrorism, unpredictable weather and high public expectations of risk reduction and public leadership, this is an exciting area of study. Students who complete a minor in emergency management and homeland security gain additional insight and knowledge that will help them find positions in various federal, state and local government, private sector, or nonprofit organizations. Some of these may include the Health and Human Services Agency (HHS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), American Red Cross, state, local, emergency management or homeland security agencies.</p><h2>Minor Admission Requirements</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Minor Requirements</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Prerequisite Courses</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Degree Requirements</h2>18 Total Credits <ul><li>Complete all of the following<ul><li>Required Courses</li><li>Complete the following: <ul><li>PAD4822 - Intergovernmental Administration (3)</li><li>PAD4392 - Emergency Management and Homeland Security (3)</li><li>PAD4712 - Information Systems for Public Managers and Planners (3)</li><li>PAD4395 - Disaster Response and Recovery (3)</li><li>PAD4390 - Hazard Mitigation and Preparedness (3)</li></ul></li><li>Restricted Electives</li><li>Complete at least 1 of the following: <ul><li>DSC4012 - Terrorism (3)</li><li>DSC4013 - Homeland Security and Criminal Justice (3)</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h3>Grand Total Credits: <strong>18</strong></h3>Foreign Language Requirements<ul> <li>None</li> </ul>Other Requirements<ul> <li>Students must earn a \"C-\" (1.75) or better in each course in the minor.</li> <li>Students must earn an overall GPA of 2.0 in the minor.</li> <li>At least 15 hours used in the minor must be earned at UCF within the department.</li> <li>No credit by exam (TSD, Military credit) may be used.</li> <li>Internship or Independent Study credit cannot be used toward the minor without prior approval.</li> </ul>",
