Accelerated Classes Offered for Military Students

Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) offers military students an education with Army Tuition Assistance of up to $4500 annually.

“We consider ourselves to be a very friendly military-student oriented school. We offer our VA benefits processing here, which serves as a transition from military to civilian,” said Samuel McFadden, Records Clerk for FTCC.   

FTCC has approximately 10,000 students total and with two, eight-week class sessions offered each spring and fall semester, and one during the summer, FTCC offers classes for an Associates Degree at a variety of locations including, Irwin Intermediate School, Albritton Junior High School, the Soldier Development Center, and online. 

FTCC was chosen as one of the first 16 colleges in the United States to offer educational benefits for the GoArmyEd Program, formerly known as the Army University Access Online. GoArmyEd is an online tuition assistance program offered to eligible Active Duty, National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers that allows them to take classes, with Army Education Counselor Support.  

FTCC also offers the option of switching military training hours to college credits by speaking with a representative at the Fort Bragg FTCC. Once students choose a major, complete admissions forms, and take at least one course with FTCC, then their military training may be added to their college transcripts.

Military students can also gain credit hours along with exemption from general education classes by taking a DANTES, or CLEP exam, which tests students on their knowledge in English, social and natural sciences, humanities, and mathematics.
