Royal Roads MADEM vs York U MDEM?

[u/confused438]

Hi everyone, I am considering pursuing a Masters in Disaster and Emergency Management in Canada. There seem to be two universities offering this type of degree, Royal Roads University in BC and York University in Ontario.

I’m pretty torn between the two. On the one hand, RRU offers a blended format which would allow me to work full time while I complete my degree. I also value the in-person format at York and it looks like they have more targeted courses throughout the program.

Wondering if anyone who has done these programs can offer any insight? Which did you do and why? Are either of these programs more highly regarded in the EM space?

I live in BC so I’m leaning towards RRU but again, would really value the in person format at York. Appreciate any thoughts!
