The Special Major in Fire Service Management provides community college fire technology graduates with an academic management component from a four-year school, as might be obtained from a university which offers a typical four-year fire management degree. Unlike such schools, this program requires completion of the first two years at a community college, and is thus denominated a “two-plus-two program.” It differs from the standard private sector business administration degree program, as the degree plan is enriched with non-business but public sector management-related course options from various campus academic units and does not contain the less appropriate commercial and tax accounting and marketing course components. Program graduates generally obtain employment in the public safety sector. Some students have utilized this degree as a foundation for graduate study in programs in public administration, public agency planning and environmental health and safety. REQUEST: I have prepared this course of study and have complied with all University regulations concerning the development of a Special Major, and hereby request approval of this proposed program for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Fire Service Management.
