Fayetteville Technical Community College has over 30,000 students, but continues to grow with new degree and short-term workforce programs that align high-demand occupations in Cumberland County and the Sandhills Region. If you are looking to upskill, advance in an exciting company, or just start out fresh following completion of high school, come check out the career pathways available at FTCC!
FTCC recognizes that every student has different goals and needs and, as a result, works hard to enhance the journey in college for workforce training or to get an affordable start on the first two years toward a four-year degree. FTCC’s transition to a new One College model is designed to ensure students are met where they are with access to resources and support services needed for a fully integrated educational experience that guides each student on a personalized road to success.
You can learn about almost anything you can imagine at FTCC. The college currently offers over 280 degree, diploma, and certificate programs and an almost endless array of short-term workforce development and special interest programs.
While FTCC prides itself on providing employer-aligned workforce training, it also offers courses in personal interest topics, from acrylic painting to yoga, and countless other special interest courses like pickleball and Summerscapes programs for youth. These classes can add life to your years and years to your life!
Many students transition directly from FTCC into the workforce, but others attend FTCC to save money and transfer to attend a university to complete a baccalaureate degree. Through Guaranteed Acceptance Programs that FTCC has with partnering UNC and NC Independent and Private Colleges, eligible students enjoy a seamless transition to many leading universities, including Fayetteville State University, Methodist University, UNC Pembroke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC State University, East Carolina University and many more.
FTCC classes are available in a variety of modalities including traditional face-to-face, online, and blended and hybrid formats that offer flexibility for students who are typically juggling multiple life obligations. FTCC even offers thirty fully online degrees and almost a hundred fully online certificates.
Additional flexibility is available in degree programs through course offerings that are offered over an eight-week term vs. the traditional sixteen-week session. FTCC also offers mini-term courses during certain times of the year. Many of FTCC’s short-term workforce training courses can be completed in a few short weeks, with a few lasting as little as one day.
Through the FTCC High School Connections program, students can take college classes online or in person. Students take the same great classes and work with the same award-winning faculty as other students, but High School Connections classes are available free of charge for eligible students.
FTCC welcomes active-duty military members, veterans, and their families with approximately one third of FTCC’s student population identified as active-duty, veterans, or military dependents. In 2025, FTCC was once again named a Top Ten Military Friendly School; full-time FTCC staff are available on Fort Bragg to serve those who honorably serve our country.
College can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be expensive for you. Community college is an affordable path to upward mobility, and FTCC awards thousands of dollars in scholarships each year. Many students complete their college degrees at no cost due to federal Pell grants and local scholarships available through the College’s Foundation.
