The Fire & Emergency Management Program has been developed for those students directly involved in or related to the field of Fire and Emergency Services. Acceptance is based on the background and educational experiences of each student.

Students accepted into the program will be required to complete a minimum of nine (9) credit hours on campus. This may be accomplished through attending Summer and Fall Institutes (weeklong seminars). Students may also transfer up to fifteen (15) credit hours from other universities. All transfer credits must be at the Graduate level. Six (6) credits may be applied as Core credits – these credits must meet point-per-point within the syllabus – as the courses offered on campus. Nine (9) credits may be applied as Elective credit from any area of study as long as they are Graduate level work. Total number of credits to graduate is 39.  

New applying students will need to fill out the application packet, along with a check and current official transcripts (from all colleges and universities attended) to the FEMP office.

All prospective students will need to obtain an email address. This is due to the fact that the FEMP is trying to limit the amount of paper being mailed. Mailing will be the last option to disburse information to students and others interested in the program. All accepted students will have their email address added to the FEMP List Server.
