Flathead Valley Community College (FVCC) is a public community college in Kalispell, Montana.

Worth considering if you want an affordable two-year college in northwestern Montana — at an average net price of just $8,723/year and median debt of only $6,719, the financial picture is genuinely manageable. That said, median earnings of $33,500 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a specific local career path, not as a standalone credential for higher-earning goals.
