Capella University offers online degrees in emergency mgmt

Always on the hunt or online education resources, I was alerted to Capella via this blogger's post:

Capella, the online university where some working adults choose to pursue an online phd , has been chosen as a finalist for a Minnesota Tekne Award in the "Technology User" category, which honors the "innovative application of products or services resulting in dramatic business improvement or market advantage." The school was also recently designated as a Center for Academic Excellence in information assurance education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security

Evidently they offer a several online degree programs in Emergency Management, including a doctorate:

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Public Safety, School of Human Services
Emergency Management Specialization

With natural and man-made disasters stretching the capacity of responding agencies throughout the nation and around the world, the need for leaders in the field of emergency management has never been greater. This emergency management PhD is designed to create scholar-practitioners with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to oversee emergency organizations, teach tomorrow's leaders, and consult on the effective management of complex emergency situations, including proactively eliminating or mitigating crises before they happen. Courses include case studies from Chemical, Biological, Radiological/Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents and the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and opportunities for your own doctoral research to advance the field of emergency management.
