Student Success
In 2015, President Barack Obama announced America’s College
Promise, including focused expectations for community colleges.
One of the initiatives was called Building High-Quality
Community Colleges, where Community colleges will be
expected to offer programs that either (1) are academic
programs that fully transfer to local public four-year colleges
and universities, giving students a chance to earn half of the
credit they need for a four-year degree, or (2) are occupational
training programs with high graduation rates and that lead to
degrees and certificates that are in demand among employers.
FCC remains committed to offering prevalent academic
and occupational programs and providing support so
more students graduate with transferable credits and in-
demand skills. As FCC graduation rates increase, more
students from diverse learning areas become better
prepared for continued academic or workforce success.
