PARIS — Western Maine University and Community College Center of South Paris will offer courses leading to an associate degree in emergency management/homeland security from the University of Maine at Fort Kent. UMFK is the only institution of higher education in Maine to offer such a program.

The associate degree program is offered completely online or as a blended program. Graduates may rollover their entire associate degree into the University’s rural public safety administration baccalaureate program, which also is available online.
The program is intended for those who wish to pursue a career in law enforcement, either as a first responder or a supporter/resource professional.
