Why Choose FVCC?

Your first two years of college are as significant and transformative as anything you will experience. It’s when your eyes are first opened to new ways of thinking and you’re able to see life from a variety of perspectives.

Whether two years is all you plan to take, or it’s the beginning of a longer academic journey, your first years are our entire focus at FVCC. Here are some things that distinguish what we have to offer…

Our campus… in the past few years alone we’ve invested nearly $16 million for the addition of three new academic buildings.

Our setting… we're just 30 minutes from Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness and two of Montana’s finest ski and summer resorts.

Our programs… the FVCC surveying degree program is among the best in the country, with a pass rate on the Land Surveyor Intern Exam nearly twice the national average.

Our quality… the FVCC Honors Symposium brings in experts from around the world each year to discuss current global issues.

Our faculty… your instructors come from some of the top institutions in the country and are recognized experts in their fields.

Our resources… the FVCC heavy equipment operator program recently received nearly $700,000 in new equipment.

Our innovation… the FVCC Running Start Program enables local students to earn college credits while completing their high school curriculum.

Our service… in one year alone more than 290 FVCC students volunteered more than 5,600 hours to improving the community and enhancing the lives of local citizens.

Our results… for the past eight years more than 95 percent of all FVCC job-seeking graduates have successfully secured employment upon graduating.

Our value… more than half of FVCC students receive some form of financial assistance, and some of our programs are often one-fifth the cost of similar programs at four-year schools.
