The suburban main campus encompasses multiple academic buildings and technical training facilities, with additional satellite locations in Hartsville, Lake City, and Mullins. Established in 1963 as a technical education center, FDTC offers associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates with focused programs in technical, health sciences, and business fields. The college maintains partnerships with local industries and provides specialized workforce training programs, particularly in manufacturing technology, nursing, and automotive technology.
