The Fire Science Program prepares graduates for entry-level firefighter positions with various emergency organizations, including fire departments, industry emergency response teams, and first responder agencies. The program allows students to complete the International Fire Science Training Association (IFSTA) Firefighter I and II certifications, complete a Certification A, B or Associate degree, and prepare for transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at an area university. This program is designed to prepare students for careers in fire fighting, fire investigation, consulting, industrial safety, fire engineering and fire prevention. The Certificate A is one semester, Certificate B is an additional semester, and the AAS Degree program completion would be an additional year, to include both general education and fire science coursework. All students will start at the Certificate A option and progress through the program. A minimum of 65 college credits are required for successful completion of the Fire Science Associate of Applied Science degree program.
