Fayetteville Technical Community College has been recognized as a top college for military service members and veterans by Military Times, landing in the publication’s 2024 Best for Vets: Colleges rankings.

Each year, Military Times surveys colleges and universities nationwide to evaluate their veteran-focused programs. These survey responses, along with public data sourced from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs, undergo analysis by the Military Times data team to produce the ranking.

FTCC is 10th in the state this year and the highest-rated North Carolina community college on the list. It was recognized for its in-person and online offerings to students.

According to Military Times, the publication evaluates information on success metrics, admissions, resources, human resources, financials and record keeping to compile its ranking.

FTCC offers a wide range of classes, and programs are available in a variety of settings, including on FTCC’s campuses, at Fort Liberty and online. FTCC awards appropriate credit for prior military learning and follows up with comprehensive services to meet the special educational needs of military personnel and their families.

FTCC’s All American Veterans Center, which is located on its Fayetteville campus, provides educational assistance and support to veterans. The College’s Transition Tech program provides industry-focused training for military members who are preparing for civilian life.

In addition, FTCC has full-time staff located at Liberty Training and Education Center at Fort Liberty, serving active duty military personnel.
