A recent article in Military Times magazine shone a spotlight on Fayetteville Technical Community College and its service to veterans.
The college was ranked third in the nation for its educational services for veterans; it also has been ranked as 10th in the Southeast and 47th nationally among colleges and universities for veterans.
The college appeared as the highest ranked college or university in the state mentioned on the Best for Vets list.
Data from the Department of Education and the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as surveys from educational institutions, was published in the Military Times’ 2021 “Best for Vets” rankings.
According to promotional material from FTCC’s Public Relations & Marketing Department, the rankings are “the largest and most comprehensive set of rankings for military service members and veterans and can help them make important decisions about their education, including how to use the education benefits they earn through military service.”
The magazine stated that 20 percent of the students at FTCC are veterans.
“FTCC serves active-duty, retired and transitioning military members as well as family members by providing access to academic degree, diploma and certificate programs; short-term skills development training; and personal enrichment courses,” according to the statement released Wednesday morning.
