Middlesex County College Department of Chemistry and Physics |
| Why major in Fire Science Technology? This program meets the continuing educational needs of the professional and volunteer fire fighters. It enables fire fighters to perform their current duties more effectively and to prepare for greater levels of responsibility within the fire service system |
| Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking
courses in my major? Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency must be verified with a passing score in the College's placement test. You must also have a grade of "C" or better in one year of high school laboratory chemistry. |
