Fire Science Technology Announcement

Thank you for your interest in Fire Science, EMT and Paramedic studies at Scottsdale Community College.

We recently decided to close these programs at our campus. Students currently enrolled in courses at SCC this spring and summer terms will finish the semesters at SCC. The current paramedic cohort at SCC will graduate in December. After this time, the programs will no longer be offered at SCC.

Our Maricopa sister colleges – Mesa CC, Paradise Valley CC, and Phoenix College, are prepared to facilitate a transfer of our current students into their Fire Science, EMT and Paramedic programs, with all Maricopa credits fully transferable, for students who wish to transfer to these colleges.

Prospective students are also welcome to contact any of these colleges for more information on the programs, including the process to enroll. Full advisement and registration assistance is available daily.

We hope you take the opportunity to contact any of the Maricopa Community Colleges for more information. The following contact information will assist you as you learn more about transferring to or beginning the program at any of these colleges:
