The fire protection engineering curriculum is designed to give the student a grounding in the science and practice of fire safety. The field touches on many disciplines and its scientific basis is expanding. These courses cover a wide spectrum involving safety assessment reviews, hazards analysis and research, loss prevention, regulatory issues and the development of new technologies and products for fire detection, alarm, mitigation and suppression. For a full list of Bachelor of Science requirements, see the complete Curriculum.
