EM Accreditation Programs: Are ANY Right for You? Stacy L. Willett, Ed.D. Professor, Emergency Management The University of Akron

Accreditation Programs  University accredited overall by NCA  In addition, EM program accredited by IFSAC International Fire Service Accreditation Congress  Accredited in Fire and EM programs accredited at the same time  First accredited EM program ever.  IFSAC provided the only option at the time.

Fast Forward  In 2012, there are still few options  IFSAC  Foundation for Higher Education Accreditation  HSDECA ? (The Homeland Security and Defense Education Consortium Association)

IFSAC  The Site Visit: The site team will meet with entity representatives and the site team leader will begin the site visit accreditation process. The site team leader will facilitate the site visit process As a minimum, the site visit shall include the following: Meet with entity leadership and certification staff Review support services Review test banks Interview staff and applicants of the certification system Observe testing procedures Tour the facilities, if applicable The site team shall conduct an exit conference

Foundation of Higher Education There are twenty-three standards of excellence  1-4 relate to the general educational program  5-19 relate to the emergency management program, and  relate to the resources impacting educational quality  As with all standards, judgment of compliance is based on the expertise of experienced peer evaluators and precedent in accreditation, especially in relation to the impact of a program deficiency on student learning.

Foundation of Higher Education Evaluation Team Members The Foundation dispatches an evaluation team to conduct site visits as part of the accreditation process. The team consists of a team leader and a select number of evaluators who are current CEMs and/or experienced educators teaching emergency management courses

HSDECA  The Homeland Security and Defense Education Consortium Association (HSDECA) is committed to developing a transparent, accessible and outcome-based accreditation system which creates and preserves degree integrity in the emergent academic disciplines of homeland security (HS) and homeland defense (HD) while ensuring the highest standards for graduates from Associate, Undergraduate, and Graduate Degree programs in HS and HD.

HSDECA Committees  Accreditation  Continental Security  Disaster Management  Emergency Management  Fire Prevention / Safety  HSDECA Peer-Reviewed E-Journal  International Division  Law Enforcement  Maritime  Military Support to Civil Authorities  Private Sector  Public Health  Risk Assessment / Management  Volunteer Organizations

Accreditation Options  Are still limited  Involve teams of mostly practitioners or limited experience (part – time) instructors and not faculty There is a large difference!  Still searching for a right fit option, knowledgeable in subjects, but also in educational systems- in curriculum development processes AND university politics and environments. Would like to see more academics involved, especially full time doctoral degreed faculty.
