The Comprehensive Crisis Response (CCR) Minor uses a multi-disciplinary approach to study crisis, drawing from courses and faculty in Geography, Psychology, Social Sciences , and Communications.  While half the class work involves a crisis management core, electives provide flexibility so that students can tailor the minor to their individual and specific academic and professional needs.  This approach provides the student with both theoretical and practical knowledge  that is valued in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. As part of the program, the CCR graduate will have earned a Professional Development Series Certificate through FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute.  In addition, students are encouraged to participate in our field exercises in Florida and Macedonia and employ best-practices through involvement with Northwest’s C-CERT program.
