History
Tulane University began offering classes in social welfare in 1914.[1] Sponsored by grants from the American Red Cross, a formal one-year program was implemented in 1921.[1]
By 1927, with funding from a Rockefeller grant, the school became a separate program with a two-year curriculum qualifying students for the Master of Arts.[1]
The Disaster Resilience Leadership Academy was established in March of 2009 through a grant from the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance and was administered within the Tulane Payson Center. In 2013, DRLA was transferred to Tulane School of Social Work. DRLA welcomes its first online MS-DRL cohort in Fall 2025.[2]
