12 chbryanIMG 0304 2Fayetteville Technical Community College is the smart choice for individuals seeking education, for a variety of reasons. The No. 1 reason revolves around the center for FTCC’s existence — to serve as a learning-centered institution to build a globally competitive workforce. FTCC students who successfully complete two years in the college transfer programs transition and perform well in the four-year college environment. One example of how FTCC prepares students well for the next step in the educational journey is the C-STEP program.

C-STEP is a partnership between North Carolina community colleges and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of the program is to provide transfer opportunities for talented low- and moderate-income students. Students at Fayetteville Technical Community College who successfully complete C-STEP will receive guaranteed admission to UNC-Chapel Hill. FTCC became a partner with C-STEP in 2011.

FTCC graduate Bryan Cuevas-Figueroa recently completed C-STEP at FTCC and transferred to the UNC-Chapel Hill. Bryan intends to graduate from UNC’s business school and continue his education to attain a Master of Business Administration degree. With the outstanding educational foundation Bryan received at FTCC, he is now continuing his educational studies beyond the first two years and is pursuing his four-year degree at UNC-Chapel Hill with confidence and success.

“Sometimes things in life don’t quite work out exactly as planned, but blessings come from the support of others and the ability to stay humble along the way,” Bryan said when reflecting on how his experience with FTCC prepared him in the best way for achieving his personal goals. In addition to exceptional education provided by caring and knowledgeable faculty members, students have access to many resources at Fayetteville Tech to provide support. FTCC students who pursue a four-year degree at UNC-Chapel Hill through C-STEP benefit academically while engaging with individuals from UNC who bridge the gap through advising, special events, transition and support services.  

C-STEP at FTCC  is just one of the many exciting opportunities awaiting students who choose Fayetteville Tech. FTCC offers over 280 associate degree, certificate and diploma programs to choose from in the areas of arts and humanities, math and sciences, business, applied technology/engineering, health, and public service. To complement experiences in the academic programs, students have unique opportunities to participate in athletics, student clubs and leadership organizations, theater and music, scholarships and more.
