What will I learn?

Overview

The open-learning B.S. in Fire and Safety Engineering Technology degree program at the University of Cincinnati focuses on practical, applied learning techniques. The open-learning method allows you to schedule academic and professional development efforts around duty assignments. While adding a high degree of flexibility and convenience to your professional development, the program maintains the level of quality and effectiveness consistent with a traditional approach. Fire service personnel who have earned an associate degree in fire science technology or related discipline earn credit toward a bachelor's degree while upgrading professional skills.

Fire service credit courses are taken in a distance-learning format. Written assignments and projects provide a continual indication of progress and form the basis of an ongoing relationship between professor and student. Courses outside the fire service requirements and fire service electives required for the bachelor's degree may be taken either by attending a local institution or by continuing the open learning method through various distance-learning programs. All courses must be pre-approved by appropriate department heads.

The Open Learning Fire Service program is available through seven participating regional institutions in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration, National Fire Academy, Degrees at a Distance Program (DDP). The region served by UC includes Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
