AA/AS in Fire Protection

The Fire Science Technology degree is an Associate of Applied Science meant for people who already hold Maryland fire and rescue certifications or have finished occupational coursework through MFRI but do not yet have a degree. It prepares individuals for entry-level firefighting jobs and gives current fire service professionals the credential needed for promotion. Credit may be awarded for completed MFRI coursework, up to 29 credits. Graduates have moved into supervisory and teaching roles, and a transfer option leads to the emergency management bachelor's program at Millersville University. Prospective students should review the college catalog for the complete course sequence and the expected learning results. Speaking with an academic advisor before registering helps align coursework with transfer plans or career goals, and the college welcomes questions from anyone considering the program.
