Articulation Agreements


Fayetteville Technical Community College
The agreement allows VGCC students to take general education courses at VGCC before applying to transfer into FTCC’s program. Much of the program’s specialized instruction is offered online and can be completed remotely. Students must complete certain practical requirements in labs at FTCC or during work-based learning at a local funeral home. The program requires students to visit FTCC in person a few times to demonstrate or learn key funeral service skills.
