RWU: Firefighters, Other Tactical Athletes Can Qualify For 2 College Credits

PROVIDENCE, RI — Roger Williams University will give two college credits to first responders who complete a four-day workshop. The workshop was developed by O2X Human Performance, and the company says it provides training that helps people achieve high performance. The school announced the partnership and said the goal is to offer "firefighters, first responders, military personnel and other tactical athletes" a chance to "pursue higher education so they can finish their careers as strong as they started."

In fact, people who have already taken the course can also apply for the credits.

"The partnership between O2X and Roger Williams University means that any student who successfully completes the O2X Human Performance four-day workshop is eligible for two college credits toward a RWU bachelor’s degree, associate’s degree or School of Continuing Studies certificate. This eligibility applies to anyone who has previously completed the four-day O2X workshop and anyone who attends a future workshop," the school said.
