Welcome
At FRCC, we believe that learning is a partnership among students, faculty, and staff. Our role – and the guiding principle of our institution – is to help you achieve success. We believe that students can fulfill their role by taking advantage of all that FRCC has to offer.
Here are just a few things you might like to know about our college:
We prepare you for the “real world.”
Our associate degrees and certificate programs train students for careers in well-established and emerging industries. Our Clean Energy Technology Program, for example, offers an Associate of Applied Science degree that prepares students to enter the growing clean energy industry here in Colorado. FRCC collaborated with more than two dozen Colorado businesses and organizations to design a curriculum that will provide students a solid foundation in alternative and renewable energy technology and help meet the challenges of area businesses.
Your credits are guaranteed to transfer.
Our gtPATHWAYS curriculum of general education courses is guaranteed to transfer to the colleges of arts and sciences at all public four-year colleges and universities in Colorado. FRCC is the number one transfer institution for Colorado State University, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and we also have transfer agreements with Colorado School of Mines, Regis University, and University of Denver. In addition, there are several special statewide transfer agreements in place for fields of study such as business, early childhood education, elementary education, and nursing.
Our faculty is here for YOU.
Our devoted, highly educated faculty is passionate about teaching and student success. At FRCC, classes are small enough that instructors know your name—and can help you get to where you want to go.
We’re cutting-edge.
FRCC’s classrooms and labs employ some of the best technology in the state. Students work with the latest software programs and computer equipment, to ensure our teaching is always at the leading edge.
We partner with high schools.
Thanks to the Colorado ASCENT (Accelerating Students through Concurrent ENrollmenT) legislation, high school students may take classes toward their associate degree while finishing high school. Our Gateway to College, Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO), and FRCC Early College programs, which allow students to simultaneously earn high school and college credit, are just a few examples of FRCC’s commitment to helping young students better their lives through education.
Our students come from all walks of life.
FRCC students come from a wide range of ethnic, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds. From freshmen coming straight from high school to adult students seeking to further their careers, we embrace diversity on our campuses.
We’ll help you figure it all out.
If you're unsure of what you want to do, our academic advisors will help you determine your goals, choose classes, and plan your career. If you're concerned that you’re not ready for college-level class work, we offer mathematics and English preparatory courses that will set you up to succeed. We also provide tutoring, math and science drop-in help centers, and a number of other academic support services.
At FRCC, you’ll save a bundle.
Starting your education at FRCC will save you thousands of dollars in tuition, helping you reach your career and life goals affordably. If you are a Colorado resident, apply for the College Opportunity Fund to cover part of your tuition.
We’re here to help you make the most of the experience.
No matter who you are, FRCC has programs and resources that will help you thrive—and have fun while you’re at it. Our mentorship programs, tutoring support, study skills seminars, and math, science and English labs enhance your learning. We also believe that not all learning takes place within the walls of the classroom. Check out all the organizations and activities our campuses have to offer—visit with a Student Life professional to see how you can get involved.
On behalf of all of our staff and faculty, I welcome you to Front Range Community College. When it comes to focusing on your success, FRCC is unmatched. I am excited that you have chosen to partner with us as you begin or continue your educational journey.
