In these difficult economic times, it is reassuring to know that Fayetteville Technical Community College is still providing a quality and affordable education to the public. For more than 50 years, FTCC has helped develop the skills and build upon the talents of our student population. With more than 150 degrees, diplomas and certificate programs, FTCC offers the opportunity for you to realize your goals with the completion of one of our certificate, diploma or degree programs and serves as a launch-pad to your dreams through our college-transfer degrees.

For many potential students, money to pay for college can be a problem, but this does not have to interfere with your aspirations. Tuition at FTCC is extremely affordable; in fact, FTCC and the North Carolina Community College System have some of the most affordable college tuitions in the nation. For those who may need assistance, our Financial Aid Office is ready and able to help students apply for federal, state and local funding. Additionally, FTCC has a number of internal and program specific scholarships for qualified students. For our veteran and military-dependant populations, our Veterans Administration Office is ready to assist you in receiving your military-education benefits and help aid your transition to college life.

We live within a fast-paced culture with an ever increasing global presence. Fayetteville Technical Community College understands these challenges and has sought solutions. For students who desire a traditional approach to their studies, FTCC has a beautiful campus with the infrastructure present to meet the demands of any student. Students desiring a non-traditional path can take advantage of our night, weekend, web-assisted hybrid courses or our fully online Internet-based courses offered through Blackboard. Additionally, students can attend classes offered at our Spring Lake Campus or our Horticulture Educational Center, located in downtown Fayetteville. Military students and dependents can take advantage of our course offerings at a convenient location on Fort Bragg, the Bragg Soldier Development Center. FTCC is recognized as a military-friendly college.

For students who aspire to obtain a four-year university degree, allow FTCC to provide the solid foundation for these plans with one of our college transferable, two-year associate degrees. We offer the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Fine Arts, all of which are accredited and covered by the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement for smooth transition to a University of North Carolina System school. Take the core classes you need in an environment where the focus is on teaching and the class size is deliberately kept small to foster interaction and learning. As our graduates can attest, in our local community, nation and now internationally, FTCC provides education for life.
