Colleges for Associates in Fire Science

[CapeCodPilot13]

Hello Folks! I'm a new one here and am hunting for a decent and affordable college for fire science. Any reccommendations? I know there's only a few that offer the bachelor's degree in this art, but I figured I'd start with an associate's. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben

Where do you live, if your in the Minnesota area Hennepin Tech. has a Fire Science program (AAS) and the teachers there are great.

Where are you located? NC Has several Community Colleges that have programs in Fire Protection. Fairly affordable price too.

Most colleges offer a fire science program but you must make sure it is from an accredited school. I am an arson investigator and I have taken many courses that help me throughout my career. Check that your school does offer this as this is to be important. The last thing you want is to take a course and it not be accepted anywhere.

Try Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado. 2 year degree with prior learning credit option. For all of those with tons of classes and training it seems like a good way to go. I belive all classes are available on line.

Anyone out there have experience with this college/degree program?

I'm considering enrolling, but haven't made the jump yet.
