The LSC BAS in Emergency Management program trains students in incident management systems, inter-agency processes and how to design and implement response strategies for natural and human-made disasters. Students learn planning, crisis communication, mitigation, disaster response, disaster finance, operations, grant analysis, continuity specialist, donations management, volunteer management and fire management. The college also offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Emergency Management.

“The Lone Star College Emergency Management program is helping me to strengthen areas that I am already familiar with to obtain different positions in the emergency management field,” said Brett Shryock, LSC student. “I wanted to be in the first cohort to help define it as a student. It has been a good networking experience with other students and guest speakers.” Shryock plans to use his degree to attain a senior manager position at his current job.

HeadingVincent Rodriguez wanted to earn his bachelor’s degree to reinforce the importance of education to his three children. He chose the LSC BAS Emergency Management program because the college invested the time to go to his employment to introduce the program to him and his colleagues. Upon completion, Rodriguez plans to seek advancement at his current job and is open to earning a master’s degree. 

“This program has opened my eyes to viewing an emergency event at a wider scope, not just the tactical level,” said Rodriguez. “I am being exposed to the resources afforded to our communities at the local, state and federal levels.”
