Associate of Applied Science Degree Program

 

The Selland College of Applied Technology at Boise State University in cooperation with SWIFT now offers individuals the opportunity to pursue an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degre in Wildland Fire Management (WFM).

The AAS degree program is designed to appeal to those individuals seeking to formalize their wildland fire training and experience with a 2-year degree program in wildland fire management.
 
Students desiring the AAS degree will be able to use their National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) courses to satisfy the WFM AAS degree requirements. Participants will need to apply for admission to the university and have their NWCG courses documented on their Boise State University transcript.

In addition to NWCG fire courses, to fulfill the AAS degree requirements a student must take 16 semester credits of general education core classes available through Boise State or transferred from other colleges or universities.  You must present a transcript of these classes to BSU to receive full credit.  If you have not previously received these credits, they are available through BSU.  

The chart on the following page contains information outlining the degree program.  The goal is to provide a well-balanced training curriculum, coupled with on the job learning experiences, to promote safety, efficiency, interagency cooperation, and professionalism in the fire service community.
