Saint Louis University is a pioneer in biosecurity and disaster preparedness training and was one of the first to offer a degree program in the field. Faculty and students in this concentration have been heavily involved in the COVID-19 response.
At SLU, you can get a Master of Public Health with a concentration in biosecurity and disaster preparedness or pair your study of biosecurity and disaster preparedness with coursework focusing on epidemiology or global health. You can also get a certificate in the discipline. Each prepares you for a wide range of senior leadership roles in the prevention of and response to both natural and manmade disasters and can be completed entirely online or in a traditional classroom setting.
Training in biosecurity and disaster preparedness trains you to help prevent biological terrorism and build effective rapid response capabilities for organizations throughout the public and private sectors. You can work to curb emerging infectious disease outbreaks in crops and livestock that threaten our food supplies, or you can develop, implement and assess strategies for governmental agencies, first responders and industry to effectively respond to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.
Program Highlights
You can choose to study biosecurity and disaster preparedness at Saint Louis University in an entirely online format, or in a "hybrid" format, which combines online and in-person classes. All of our programs are fully accredited and competency-based. Designed for the self-motivated, mature and action-oriented learner, the online M.P.H. and certificate in biosecurity and disaster preparedness are taught asynchronously, providing students with access to lectures, discussion boards and coursework from any location, at any time, through Canvas, an industry-leading standard for higher education. Our instructors are well-established in their professional fields and have extensive experience in online teaching techniques. Our online classes are not correspondence courses; student-faculty interaction is an invaluable component of the BSDP learning environment.
