The Political Science department at Missouri State University is pleased to announce the creation of a new certificate program and minor in Fire Administration which were approved recently by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education.
Increase your knowledge and skills as a fire service manager, leader, and administrator with a MSU Certificate in Fire Administration. This online pro-gram allows you to complete your course work without coming to campus. With this undergraduate certificate program you will learn the important concepts and skills required to successfully perform administrative and managerial roles in emergency service organizations. The program consists of three required courses and one elective course. All of the courses are at the undergraduate level and may be applied to the minor in Fire Administration.
This program was developed in conjunction with the US Fire Administration’s Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education project. It is not intended for novice firefighters and presumes that the students will have sufficient experience as a senior firefighter or junior company officer equivalent to at least 3 years of experience
To get permission to enroll in these online courses, all students must apply to Missouri State University. Potential students seeking more information about the certificate or minor coursework should contact Dr. David Johnson (417-836-6956).
