This degree program provides students with three options to
pursue a fire service career area. The first option, or
subchoice, provides an individual with the flexibility to
continue their educational process to a four-year fire science
program. The National Fire Academy's intent is to align all
two-year degree granting fire science programs with institutions
that provide a four-year fire science degree. The second option
follows a general fire service career path and meets the state
standards of the Michigan Fire Fighter Training Council's Fire
Fighter I and II certification process. This option consists of
selective admissions to the Regional Fire Training Center at
Lansing Community College. The third option enhances the
promotional opportunities for the veteran fire service employee.
Courses provide a versatile approach to fire service management.
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. |
