Hi,
I live in Canada and I’m wondering if the Emergency Management Graduate Certificate is offered to people outside of the US…?
In your learn more prompt it doesn’t allow for selection outside of the US.
Thanks in advance,
Shawn.
Hi Shawn, this degree program is 100% online, so it is offered to international students. The form on this page does accept international phone numbers so you should just be able to select the program you are looking for and submit using your international phone number. If you are still not able to submit please let me know and i can forward your information to an enrollment advisor. Thanks!
Hi,
I’m not able able to select the program. It still asks for my Zip Code which I don’t have because I’m Canadian.
Could you please email me and let me know how to connect with someone from your end.
Thanks again,
Shawn.
Hello Lee,
Eastern Kentucky University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS*). This regional accrediting body is recognized by both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA**) and the United States Department of Education (USDE).
Regional accreditation is a measurement the US Department of Education uses to ensure that schools meet rigorous and up-to-date standards of education and professionalism. All schools must be accredited, and their curriculum must pass approval with a USDE-approved accreditation board. Because of more defined regional accreditation educational standards, credits for similar courses will usually transfer between schools.
