Humboldt State University

Humboldt State University offers five types of programs that include the study of fire: an undergraduate wildland fire management option, a campus-wide fire ecology minor, a wildland fire certificate of study (via the Wildland Fire Studies Institute), and graduate study (M.S. level).

The wildland fire management option and fire ecology minor and categories are available to undergraduate students currently enrolled at Humboldt State University who are seeking a Bachelors degree. The Wildland Fire Studies Institute’s Wildland Fire Certificate of Study is a cooperative program that is designed for students (often Federal employees) to meet the educational requirements for the GS-401 Fire Management Specialist job series.

The Technical Fire Management program’s mission is to enable wildland fire managers to apply the most current fire-related technology to the management of fire-dependent ecosystems. Humboldt State University also offers a graduate degree (M.S. level) for students interested in studying fire through Forestry and other department. Additional information for each program is provided at the websites below.
