Transfer Students
You’ll be amazed at the quality and flexibility of the programs at Flathead Valley Community College. Our top-notch faculty and strong curriculum will give you the educational foundation necessary to continue your studies at any four-year institution in the country. FVCC is fully accredited, making it easy for you to transfer the credits you earn to the institution you choose.
Flexibility.
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees can lead directly toward professional employment, but they can also be used as a transfer degree and entrance to four-year colleges and universities. You don’t pick a specific major while you’re pursuing either of these degrees. Instead, you complete core requirements and take the prerequisites that will prepare you for your major field once you transfer to a four-year institution.
Montana University System.
Because we partner with the Montana University System, your Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree will transfer seamlessly to any four-year state school in Montana. You’ll arrive at the school of your choice as a junior meeting all of your general education requirements, as long as you’ve received at least a “C” grade for your course work at FVCC.
Educational Preparation.
We hold our faculty to the highest standards, and many who choose to teach at FVCC have been educated at some of the nation’s top colleges and universities. Our instructors work closely with faculty in Montana’s state institutions to ensure the curriculum rigorously prepares you for upper-level classes.
Outstanding Location.
We serve students from across Montana, across the nation and across the globe. Both Flathead and Lincoln Counties nestle in the midst of immense natural beauty and offer exceptional recreational opportunities that range from fishing and boating to hiking and skiing. Our facilities are also outstanding. We’ve enhanced our Flathead campus in the past few years, investing nearly $20 million for the addition of three new state-of-the-art buildings.
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.
