Electives
Electives
Relevant classes can be found throughout the university. The follow lists are intended to illustrate the range of options. Not all classes are offered every year and other classes may also serve as appropriate electives. Electives are part of the plan of study.
Elective classes are organized by thematic areas. The thematic areas are defined as follows:
- Organizations, management and leadership – focus on management and leadership in all phases of a disaster. Includes knowledge of institutional structures and tools to support decision making.
- Built and natural environment, and society – focus on the interfaces between the three different infrastructures – built, natural and social with an emphasis on the opportunities to control, influence, accommodate and understand changes and needs during and after catastrophic events.
- Vulnerability and resilience – focus on how systems are impacted by and respond to catastrophic events. Includes how systems can be modified or adapted to reduce vulnerability and improve resilience.
- Continuity of operations (policy and planning) – focus on response to disasters including policy and planning.
- Simulation and modeling – focus on decision support tools and the modeling of impacts to support disaster planning, mitigation, response and recovery.
- Health systems leadership: public health disaster planning and response – focus on the role of health professionals and systems in planning for and responding to disasters.
