The U.S. Fire Administration recognizes Idaho State University as an official FESHE institution, and this degree program closely follows the FESHE curriculum.

National Fire Academy Course Certificates

Any ISU student who completes a FESHE curriculum course is eligible to apply for individual course certificates through the National Fire Academy FESHE Recognition Program. These certificates are equivalent to those awarded for resident courses at the NFA in Emmitsburg, Maryland. In addition, the National Fire Academy will provide an NFA transcript listing completed courses.
