The Fire/Emergency Response Technology Program is approved as an accredited regional academy for the State Fire Marshal's Office.

COS is located at the base of majestic Mount Shasta (elevation 14,162 feet) in far northern California. Its 250-acre primary campus is centered in the historic lumber town of Weed, named after its founder Abner Weed, and is easily accessible from Interstate 5 and Highway 97. Classes began September 10, 1959, with 67 students and only three campus buildings. Since that humble beginning, the College of the Siskiyous (COS) has greatly expanded its programs, services, and facilities.
