The Department of Emergency Health Services at UMBC offers a graduate program leading to a Master of Science degree. This degree incorporates offerings from several university departments at both UMBC and UMB. The program offers three Master’s degree tracks: (1) administration, planning and policy; (2) preventive medicine and epidemiology; and (3) education. The department also offers a graduate certificate program in emergency management. Available as a fully online distance education program or as an on-campus/hybrid program, the EHS degree sequence is designed to fit the needs of both part-time and full-time students.
Program Admission Requirements
General admission requirements are those of the Graduate School. All original application documents must be sent directly to the Graduate School, not the graduate program. Both UMB and UMBC require a bachelor’s degree with a minimum 3.0 average and three letters of recommendation. Scores on the aptitude sections of the Graduate Record Examination are required if a student’s undergraduate GPA is below 3.2. An undergraduate background in emergency health is not required, although those applying with strongly divergent backgrounds may be asked to take the undergraduate Emergency Medical Technician course (Clinical Concepts and Practice I & II). Applicants with any identified background deficiencies may be admitted provided they remove such deficiencies promptly.
