The Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety & Health Concentration in Fire Science was developed to address the specific needs of those seeking to enter and those seeking to advance through the ranks within the fire science field. The presence of dangerous chemicals rolling through our communities on trains and trucks coupled with the hazardous materials often found on site at industrial plants in proximity to where we live and play has made the role of the modern-day firefighter increasingly complex. Columbia Southern University's fire science program is designed to provide students with the technical knowledge and skills to assume positions of responsibility within fire departments and industry.
