The School of Management now accepts select urban search and rescue training courses for college credit toward earning a Bachelor of Security and Emergency Management or a Master of Security and Disaster Management degree. The change went into effect in April.


  • Up to 45 credits from US&R courses can apply to the requirements for a BSEM degree (out of a total required 120 credits to earn the degree)

  • Up to 6 credits from US&R courses can apply to the requirements for an MSDM degree (out of a total required 30 credits to earn the degree)


More information is available on the SOM website. For questions about the HSEM program or to schedule an appointment with an advisor, contact Shelbie Umphenour (scumphenour@alaska.edu) for the BSEM degree or Angel Buchanan (aebuchanan@alaska.edu) for the MSDM degree.
