On-Site Study Component

A unique feature of this program is that, included in the tuition and integrated into the curriculum, is a 7-10 day on-site learning program. This on-site study component involves a "hands-on" approach to Emergency and Disaster Management and is often sponsored by the United Stated Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other domestic and overseas partners.

by David Longshore

Between May 9-19, 2009, students in MCNY's MPA program in Emergency and Disaster Management studied counterterrorism and emergency management at IMI Academy in Tel Aviv, Israel. Here is just a fraction of the positive feedback shared with the College by those who attended:

"This trip [to Israel] for me was a one-time life experience, not only in my professional career but also with a personal perspective. I had learned so much in the [IMI] Academy about other views of the immediate hazards of terrorism...Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have this international experience, where knowledge and awareness went hand in hand."
