The Oklahoma State University
(OSU) School of Fire Protection and Safety Technology (FPST) is located on the Stillwater campus of OSU. The
FPST Program is a 4-year degree program that
concludes with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology. The FPST
curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to assess and reduce the loss
potential existing in an operation with respect to fire, safety, industrial
hygiene and hazardous material accidents.
The School of Fire Protection and Safety Technology is under the
College of Engineering, Architecture, and
Technology (CEAT). The program began in 1937 at OSU - Stillwater and is fully
accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board
for Engineering Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD
21202-4012, (410) 347-7700 (TAC/ABET). The program was first directed toward preparing young people for careers with the
uniformed fire services. However, the demand by business and industry for loss control specialists has
resulted in the evolution of the program into one where the emphasis is on
industrial fire protection, safety, occupational health and loss control. The curriculum is
designed to immediately introduce the student to studies in fire protection and
safety enabling students to measure their interest in the field of fire
protection and safety early in their academic career.
The School of Fire Protection and Safety has four full-time
faculty members, who not only teach for the school,
but often instruct non-credit courses through
CEAT Continuing Education. The
students in the program have the opportunity to join several
student
organizations to broaden their educational opportunities and experience.
The program is fortunate to also have the International Fire Service Training Association/Fire Protection Publications
(IFSTA/FPP) on the campus of
Oklahoma State University. IFSTA/FPP is the world's largest distributor of
fire fighting training manuals.
