Training the Next Generation of Leaders

IDM serves to educate and prepare the next generation of disaster managers. We are committed to furthering the field of disaster management via research, knowledge, and training across the State of Georgia, the United States, and the globe.

Our disaster management programs are comprised of undergraduate and graduate students seeking to gain degrees, practical application skills, and a deeper understanding of the field. One of the strengths of our program is the diversity of our students’ and educators’ backgrounds that varies the perspectives of topics discussed in class.

IDM prepares students via experiential, hands-on learning techniques that develop critical thinking skills necessary to serve as professionals in the field. Our classes also provide students with discipline-specific certifications via professional organizations to further prepare them to enter the workforce.
