MCC Ranked Top Fire Science College


Monroe Community College has been recognized for offering Fire Science Programs with significantly higher than average returns-on-investment.  FireScience.org has released its list of the 90 Fire Science Degree Programs That Really Pay Off.  MCC ranks among the very best schools for return on investment with an affordable tuition.  There are nearly 900 colleges in the U.S. that offer Fire Science Programs with tuitions ranging from exorbitant to relatively inexpensive.  Of those, only schools that met very specific criteria were included on the list:

·         Annual tuition less than $10,000

·         Average annual salary greater than $50,000

·         Must have at least 35 active students enrolled

·         Various Fire Science and Forestry Programs reviewed

·         Fully-accredited schools only

·         Public and Private schools included

“With this list we wanted to point prospective students toward schools that could jump start their careers and adult lives,” said Matt Davis, Managing Director of Fire Science Online.  “These programs are both affordable and highly-rewarding.  A very well deserved ‘Congratulations’ to Monroe Community College.  Thank you for being a fantastic educational option for tomorrow’s firefighters.”


MCC Fire Science Programs are taught at the Public Safety Training Facility.
