You will join 1,800 fellow students from across the Big Sky State who, like you, are looking to seize every opportunity for skiing, hiking, biking, fishing and exploring the Rocky Mountains.

With the guidance of respected professors who come from some of America’s best schools and access to three FVCC campus locations, you will develop the professional skills employers value and the perspective top universities seek in transfer students.
Nestled in the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Northwest Montana, just 30 miles from Glacier National Park and 60 miles from the U.S.-Canada border, is where you will find Flathead Valley Community College. With two campuses located in Kalispell and Libby, we serve nearly 100,000 residents over a two-county region covering more than 10,000 square miles.
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, we continue to provide high-quality academic programs taught by some of the nation’s brightest faculty. Our students go on to lead successful lives whether they transfer on to four-year colleges and universities throughout Montana and the nation or take advantage of our nearly 50 career and technical programs that prepare students to enter into today’s workforce. We also offer the Running Start program for eligible area high school students who want to get a jump start on their college education while saving a significant amount of money on tuition; online classes so our students can learn anywhere at anytime; classes taught through interactive television reaching students living in rural communities; select undergraduate and graduate degrees through our partnerships with various Montana colleges and universities so students do not have to leave the Flathead Valley; customized workforce training for area businesses; and a wide variety of fun, enriching and affordable non-credit classes for all ages.
Our small class sizes, excellent student support services, diverse financial aid packages and scholarship opportunities along with the value of education we provide are just a few of the many reasons why students choose to attend FVCC. Not only do students have the opportunity to learn in a state-of-the-art learning environment, they thrive in our friendly community. Our students are known by their names, not by numbers, by faculty and staff who truly care about helping every student succeed.
