The Fire & Safety baccalaureate curriculum is offered as a full time on campus program. In addition, the upper division courses are delivered as part of a + 2 transfer option. These upper courses are available on campus and as a live, individual access, distance learning program via the Internet. The preferred associate degree is in Fire Science, Fire Protection, or Occupational Safety. Students with an associate or bachelor degree in another discipline may be admitted to the program upon the successful completion of prerequisite courses.
