One of our biggest advantages to the EMHS program at MVNU is our focus on experience. We couple the classroom work with opportunities to actually get your hands dirty in the field. You’ll be offered the opportunity to deploy to the field and work closely with authorities, locally, nationwide, and internationally.

Our faculty are experts in their field with the knowledge to engage with students in every capacity, and are also still actively involved in their fields.
While a relatively practice based degree, due to its fairly young age, there is a large space for research and writing within the EMHS fields. In addition to research conducted in courses, department faculty encourage talented and motivated students to submit their work to peer-reviewed journals and other outlets including conferences and workshops. Student scholars are also encouraged to present their work at the MVNU undergraduate research symposium (sURC).
