Disaster Science and Management Louisiana State University The Louisiana State University (LSU) offers an interdisciplinary graduate minor in Disaster Science and Management (DSM). It is designed for graduate students throughout LSU who wish to include in their graduate studies a core of courses in the science and engineering of natural or man-made hazards, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery of disasters. Students are encouraged to utilize the extensive hazards research capabilities of LSU and orient their thesis or dissertation research towards hazards or disasters. Non-thesis degree programs may be available from some LSU departments. This multi-disciplinary approach is designed to prepare individuals for careers in a wide range of disciplines in business and industry, government, the not-for-profit sector, and academia that require a broad understanding of disasters and hazards. The minor in Disaster Science and Management provides students with: A broad understanding of the nature and impact of disasters on the natural, built and human environments; A basis for establishing strategies to effectively plan for disasters, mitigate the adverse effects of disasters, respond to disasters, and recover from disasters. This program of study is based on a coordinated approach to training of graduate students from diverse academic and fields of research and study. Each graduate student’s program of study can be tailored to his/her interests within their home department or school. Every student receives a broad-based foundation through coursework, seminars, and research studies.
