Fire Protection Technology
Associate in Applied Science Degree

This program is designed to provide education for two types of students:

1. First, those who are presently members of a municipal fire department and wish to improve their supervisory and/or technical skills.
   
2. Second, student who are not members of a fire department but aspire to enter the fire service. Many graduates of this program presently hold the highest positions in fire departments throughout this country.

A graduate with this degree may be employed as a:

• Fire Fighter
• Conservation Officer
• Fire Fighter Supervisor
• Industrial Fire Inspector
• Fire - extinguisher-Sprinkler Inspector
• Fire Marshal
• Fire Investigator Lieutenant
• Fire Inspector

Many graduates of this program have found promotion to higher positions in the Fire Service a distinct probability rather than a possibility.

* Up to 20 credit hours may be granted for completion of a Fire Fighters Training Program. These credits may only be used to replace elective credits, and are added at the end of the program.
