Course Report
This degree will not take theplace of the current Fire Technology majors. This degree will provide a moreaccurate major for Fire Technology students who wish to become supervisors inthe fire service, and will probably not significantly increase the number ofcourses needed as students are already enrolled in these courses. For each of the courses, it wouldbe difficult to project how many sections would be needed, as Fire Technology isn’t the only degree that would be enrolledin those courses.
