2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
The Bachelor of Science in Fire and Emergency Services is designed to build on the student’s experience in the fire service and to add the academic substance to prepare graduates to lead public or private sector fire and emergency service units. Students may apply to the university at the junior year after earning the Associate of Arts degree from a Florida community college or other accredited academic institution.
Students must meet the GPA requirement and complete all FES preprofessional courses and all General Education course work before beginning the junior year. Freshman and sophomore course work will be taken at a Florida community college or other accredited academic institution.
Once accepted, students can pursue a Bachelor of Science without moving to Gainesville. Course work for the junior and senior years will be offered via electronic distance learning, and UF faculty will teach and advise students in the program.
Students will need access to a personal computer capable of connecting to the World Wide Web and sending and receiving electronic mail. It is recommended but not required that the student’s computer have a video conferencing capability.
