Return to: Undergraduate Curricula
(130 semester hours) Requirements are subject to change.
Emergency medical services (EMS) systems have grown in size and in the complexity
of issues facing EMS managers. This program is designed to provide the student
with the technical EMS skills and the management tools necessary to participate
in the operations of EMS systems in place today and to be prepared to lead systems
into the future.
Certification-level courses are offered up to and including the EMT—Paramedic
level, all of which have been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services. In addition, each certification
course meets or exceeds the national training standards of the United States Department
of Transportation. The technical courses are complemented with offerings in emergency
management, business management, and the management internship program to provide
the widest range of EMS experience available in higher education today. Successful
completion of the major results in both certification at the EMT—Paramedic level
and the bachelor of science degree.
For more information about this major, contact Professor Judith Moore, chairperson
of the Emergency Medical Services Management Department, at (413) 788-2429 or
