Feb. 19 is Winter Visit Day at FLCC
Students start the morning by selecting two academic departments to visit and learn about their range of programming, including:
- 1-year certificates that can lead to a job or more education
- 2-year associate of applied science degrees (A.A.S.), which prepare students for a job but can also lead to transfer
- 2-year associate of art and science degrees (A.A. or A.S.), which are designed to transfer students to four-year programs
The afternoon features main campus tours, and visits to the residence hall, the New York Wine and Culinary Center (FLCC's partner for culinary programming), the Viticulture and Wine Center in Geneva and the Victor Campus Center.
