Environmental Technology
At Fort Scott Community College, Environmental Technologies are not limited to a study of earth's sciences, but include a search for solutions for all environmental concerns. FSCC trains professionals to fill the numerous employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors. It is our mission to help environmental specialists develop strategies that preserve the environment and improve the quality of life one community at a time.

FSCC is one of the few institutions in the nation where student’s can earn either an Associate of Applied Science degree or a one-year Environmental Specialist certificate. The Department currently offers six areas of specialization:

Water Plant Operation
Water Distribution System Operation
Wastewater Treatment Plant Operation
Wastewater Collection System Operation
Utilities Maintenance
Utilities Management

Students who complete the Associate of Applied Science degree qualify to take the Operator-in-Training certification test from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. An articulation agreement with most of the colleges and universities in Kansas will allow students to continue their formal education.
