This degree curriculum is for students who wish to combine fire service and
emergency medical service education and training into a single degree
program. This degree choice will expedite the career path of those students
interested in a career within public or private agencies that require
credentials in both the fire and emergency medical services fields. Students
will complete certifications for Fire Fighter I & II, Basic Emergency
Medical Technician, Hazardous Materials Awareness, and Hazardous Materials
Operations. The fire science segment meets the state standards of the
Michigan Fire Fighter Training Council's Fire Fighter I and II certification
process and consists of selective admissions to the Regional Fire Training
Center at Lansing Community College. Basic EMT courses are approved by the
Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services. An EMT Academy option
is available to students. State licensing for EMTs is required. Not all
courses in this program transfer to all colleges. Students planning to
transfer should see an academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any
course. |
