Learning Options

There are a variety of class options at Fox Valley Tech, including on-campus, online, part-time, day or evening, and weekend options.

While our main campus is in Appleton, we also offer many classes at our Oshkosh campuses and regional centers in Chilton, Clintonville, Waupaca and Wautoma. You can learn when, where and how you want. Learn more about FVTC's flexible learning options.

If you need child care, there is a child care center at the Appleton campus that is open to students, employees and the public.

College That Fits Your Life

The average age of a Fox Valley Tech student is 27 with students both older and younger. The variety in age groups is a mix that is similar to the working world and provides a great learning environment.

Class sizes are also smaller at FVTC, which means you’re getting more individualized instruction.

We have a Tutoring & Learning Center (TLC) that offers one-on-one tutoring and study groups to help you free of charge. We also offer free workshops and classes during the semester to help you with things like study skills, test-taking and time management.

We can also help you get your GED or get ready for college before starting a program with our Adult Education classes.
