Students should expect classroom environments that foster problem solving development, use state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and provide hands-on application. The program links below offer greater descriptions of the Health Sciences programs offered at FCC.

Newly Renovated FCC Healthcare, Instructional Spaces

Linganore Hall has been undergoing extensive renovations since the summer of 2021, FCC President Annesa Cheek said Wednesday. The county and state dedicated a combined $11.4 million toward the project, which remodeled 75% of the building, she said. The facility houses FCC's health sciences programs, including nursing, respiratory care, surgical technology and more. With the renovations complete, students in those programs can practice in rooms outfitted with the same hospital beds, ventilators and other tools they'll eventually use on the job.
