New - Any info on schools?

I work as a "part-time seasonal" (we work full time, and all year round) firefigher in North Wildwood, NJ and also as a lifeguard on WBP. I am currently a student at Camden County College majoring in Fire Science. A handful of the people I go to school with are transferring after earning their associates to Holy Family University in PA. I was wondering if anybody knows/graduated from/currently attends/ or knows someone who knows anything about the Fire Science program there and would be able to tell me more. Thanks.

Stay Safe!

All I can tell you about that school is that personally have never gone there but..... I never heard of it either.... Hope this helps!!!!! LMFAO

To be serious, fire science programs in general are typically about the same. You have the have to takes, english, math, BS stuff. I would pay particular attention to sprinkler systems, and building construction. Those two courses are changing the most. As an instructor myself I can tell you that the building codes and requirements alone are enough to drive you nuts. Good Luck hope this helps....

soo funny! lol. I am currently finishing my last semester of my Associates Degree and looking to move onto my Bachelors weather it be in fire science or something else. Holy Family seemed ideal becasue it has all 3 majors I am interested in, fire science being one of them. I took building codes and fire inspector at the same time last semester, my head would spin at times getting the two code books confused! building construction starts in the fall...thanks for the info =)
