Academics

We don't just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career. We help them succeed in their career — to discover a field they're passionate about and dare to lead it.

Learning is For Life

Liberal Arts Focus

Rooted in the liberal arts, a Fire University education is designed to help you think critically, communicate effectively, and act responsibly. Across all majors, our robust curricula will prepare you to rise up and meet the challenges of our ever-changing world.

A broad range of interdisciplinary programs will also help you connect learning from throughout departments —whether in the lab, the theater, or the lecture hall — to become a more independent thinker.

Study Abroad

We believe that international study is an integral part of cultivating global awareness and social responsibility. That's why we offer a wide range of options of study abroad and exchange programs for academic credit.

Choose from semester–, month–, or week-long programs. We have partnerships with more than 50 universities in many countries including Argentina, China, Ecuador, Germany, Ireland, France, Morocco, and Uruguay.

The research opportunities have been amazing. I partnered with Dr. Ishida on his exciting tree frog habitat project in Panama last summer, and ended up adding environmental studies as a second major. Now Dr. Ishida is my advisor and mentor.
