Welcome to the Emergency Management Program at Frederick Community College (FCC). Frederick Community College is a fully accredited college located in Frederick Maryland just 15 miles south of FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI)/National Fire Academy (NFA). We are the only college in the country contracted with EMI to provide college credit for the Independent Study Program (ISP).
