HERKIMER, N.Y. — Herkimer County Community College’s new partnership allows students in its emergency-management certificate program to transfer up to 18 credits toward the fully online bachelor’s degree in emergency services at Embry-Riddle’s worldwide campus.
The degree is one of few that carry the certificate of recognition from Fire Emergency Services Higher Education and is accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress. The curriculum addresses all critical knowledge areas needed for contemporary emergency responders.
“This transfer agreement creates incredible opportunities for students who complete Herkimer College’s certificate program and ensures continuity of the top-notch instruction and flexibility participants find with our institution,” Herkimer Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Robin Riecker contended in a news release. “With this partnership, the impact to the workforce for both employees and employers will be significant.”
