College of Communities
Front Range Community College’s service area is vast, stretching from North Denver to the Wyoming border, and including all or portions of Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Larimer, Jefferson, and Weld counties. With three campuses and one center serving more than 28,000 students, FRCC is the largest community college in Colorado.
FRCC offers programs and courses at its local campuses based on the needs of the students and communities served by those sites. Though many offerings are available at multiple sites, each campus provides a unique instructional mix and learning environment for its students. Student services are open to all students. Hours may vary and a few specialized services may require a visit to one of the larger campuses.
