Associate of Applied Science in Fire Science

Program Overview

The mission of the Fire Science program is to provide safe, progressive, and standards-based firefighting education and training to future and current fire and emergency services personnel.

The Fire Science program values diversity, including diversity of thought, understanding that populations are best served when fire and emergency services organizations reflect the diversity of the community.

The Fire Science program is concerned with developing leadership and followership skill and ability, providing students with principles to lead positive change in fire and emergency services.

Nationally, fire and emergency service organizations are facing unprecedented challenges.  As such, Fire Science students will be encouraged to think critically and creatively about solving problems.  Students will be challenged to think from divergent and contrarian perspectives.

Healthy fire and emergency services personnel are essential to community safety.  A strong emphasis on firefighter resilience and community resilience are benchmarks of the Fire Science program.

Ultimately, students in the Fire Science program will gain a broad educational background in fire and emergency services, preparing them for several points of entry in the fire and emergency services fields.  Current fire and emergency services personnel will enhance their knowledge, skill, and ability and will be prepared for promotional opportunities and leading crews safely.
