Fire Protection Technology

Associate in Occupational Studies, Career program

At the conclusion of the fall semester 2010, the A.O.S program in Fire Protection Technology at Corning Community College will be deactivated. The impetus for these changes relates to feedback obtained from our Fire Protection Advisory Board indicating we should revise the program into an A.A.S degree to more closely align with the demands of the profession.  We are currently developing a new Fire Protection Technology A.A.S degree, with plans to submit the program to SUNY and the New York State Education Department for approval.

During this transition, students who were recently accepted into the A.O.S. program will be matriculated (accepted) into our Liberal Arts and Sciences: General Studies A.S. program with plans on matriculating you into the Fire Protection Technology A.A.S once the new program is officially approved.  Students will be assigned an advisor familiar with the Fire Protection program to ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Brandon Rosettie, at (607) 962-9437 or brosetti@corning-cc.edu.

However, if you feel it is possible for you to complete all program requirements of the A.O.S degree by December 31, 2010, we would strongly encourage you to contact your advisor, Mr. Rosettie, to establish your educational plan. If in fact you are able to complete the requirements by December 2010, you can then apply to graduate from the A.O.S program. Standard college tuition rates will be applicable for your courses as of Summer 2010.

For those students who have not yet matriculated into the A.O.S program, but could complete the coursework required in the A.O.S.  by December 2010, it is imperative that you officially matriculate into the A.O.S. program by April 1st, 2010. You will no longer be able to apply to the A.O.S. program online; it is thus imperative that you contact Mr. Rosettie as soon as possible for assistance with this process.
