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.
