This course requires the completion of additional and/or advanced American Red Cross Disaster Services courses (e.g., Supervision in Disaster, Shelter Management, Service Center Management). These courses are not offered in a typical course format; they are usually offered in "disaster institutes," clusters of courses taught in concentrated time blocks both in South Dakota cities, and in cities in neighboring states. The specific courses a student takes to fulfill the requirements of the course will be negotiated between the student and a DMHI faculty member. This course is open to all students, but does not count toward the Psychology major or minor. This course does count toward the Minor in Disaster Response and the Psychology Major Area of Concentration. Prerequisite: PSYC 359, permission of instructor.

This course received final approval from the South Dakota Board of Regents January 21, 1999.
