Program Description
The
Fire Science Program at Glendale
prepares the student primarily for a career in the fire
service, although the program would enhance one's performance
in safety education, arson investigation and related
careers.
Greater Phoenix is one
of the fastest growing cities in the "Sun Belt" and
the need for firefighters will increase in direct proportion
to the total population. Although competition
is heavy for available positions, the applicant with
a Fire Science background has a significant advantage
over those without training. A degree in Fire
Science does not, however, guarantee employment. Persons
already employed as firefighters can expect the attainment
of the degree to be an asset when seeking promotion
within a fire department or district. |
