Fire Science Technology A.A.S. (Plan 25FB)

The Fire Science Technology Associate in Applied Science degree is designed to serve the needs of students in the fire services and to prepare others to enter the fire services.

Many of the Fire Science courses are recognized by the Office of the State Fire Marshall (OSFM) and students that are members of an Illinois fire department may be allowed to challenge the OSFM exam upon completion of the course. Students not members of an Illinois fire department may be allowed to challenge the OSFM end-of-course examination upon becoming a member of a recognized fire department in Illinois.

To complete an A.A.S., students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Academic Success Advisor to identify coursework that will meet degree requirements.
