Curriculum Delivery Plan
- The Core curriculum is offered on a 2-year cycle (some select courses are offered every year). The curriculum is delivered in this format so that a new student can enter the program and complete his/her AAS Degree in two years.
- Elective courses are offered on a 3-4 year cycle depending on demand. Many of the elective courses are used as requirements for One-Year Certificates in specialty areas such as Fire Officer, Wildland Firefighter, and Fire Prevention/Investigation.
