Hello everyone, I usually do not post comments, but I had to share a few things after reading some of these posts. First and foremost when researching a college, MAKE SURE THEY ARE REGIONALLY ACCREDITED!!!!. If they are not regionally accredited there is a high probability that a) you will have to retake accredited classes in order to pursue a Masters Degree or b) no one will take your degree seriously. From my experience most depts require degrees from regionally accredited colleges in order to get preference points. Secondly, online programs are becoming more and more popular, especially in the Firefighting field given the work schedule. There are a lot of colleges that are accredited for online programs, in fact, the NFA (National Fire Association) has agreed to have their program sponsored by seven regionally accredited colleges . Thirdly, don't just pick the first college you see, advisers are essentially recruiters and will say almost anything to get your money. Look around, check what colleges give credit for EMT/Military/Certificates etc etc....I personally have had one accredited college agree to give me 34 credit hours for prior training and have another college only offer 7!! FOR THE SAME TRAINING!! Military guys/girls try and get your transcripts through military training transferred to college credit, it's always worth a shot. Just thought I would throw my two cents in. Again, do some research when choosing a college, don't get burned, hope this helped.

hi there people i was wondering if you guys and gals know of a good college that is around Washington State?

Columbia Southern University is very good so far. Totally online and transfer of military courses and other schools were great. Highly recommend them.

University of Maryland University College has worked well for me so far. You can take your courses online and at your own pace. I've been deployed to a remote outpost in Iraq for the last 14months and I've been able to complete 4 fire science classes. However, they are not cheap. Classes cost about $700 per class for in state tuition or military. I believe it is twice that for out of state students.
