Fire Science Engineering and Administration
Merrimack College is pleased to announce a customized bachelor's degree completion program for firefighters in Fire Science Engineering and Administration.
In a joint effort between the School of Science and Engineering and the School for Advanced Studies, we have designed two five-course concentrations in Fire Science Engineering and Fire Administration and Leadership, each of which is based on FESHE curriculum guidelines.
Courses will be offered in ten-week terms starting in Spring 2009. Each 4-credit course will meet one evening per week for 3.5 hours, and some classes may be offered in the hybrid format, combining in-class and online learning.
Merrimack College academic advisors are ready to provide transfer credit evaluation as well as assistance with course selection and registration.
