Overview

Who We Are

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities. Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers.

Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. FRCC is ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek. One of FRCC’s main goals is educational excellence for everyone, with a strong commitment to student success and an inclusive and equitable environment.

FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body. FRCC is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution, with a commitment to helping Latinx and other historically marginalized students thrive. FRCC employees and leaders work to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride, and we seek candidates who share these values along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.
