Fire Science

Associate in Arts (DTA)

The associate degree program in Fire Science integrates professional firefighting technical skills related to the everyday demands of the profession with course work in Mathematics, English, Physical Science and Liberal Arts to provide graduates with the necessary ancillary knowledge to advance into supervisory and/or management level positions. Successful completion of the program results in the awarding of an Associate in Arts Degree in Fire Science.

This degree is designed as a transfer program for those who intend to continue their education at a four-year institution. Students interested in transferring to a particular four-year institution should contact the program advisor early in their course work. The transfer degree requires completion of courses listed under option A or option B below, in addition to the normal requirements for an Olympic College Associate in Arts Degree. See the Associate in Arts—Direct Transfer Agreement Planning Worksheet for requirements.

Since not all restricted fire science electives are required, it is also important to see the program advisor to determine which option (A or B) of restricted Fire Science electives should be taken to complete the degree.
