About This School
Front Range Community College is a public institution located in Westminster, Colorado with approximately 11,132 undergraduate students enrolled.

Front Range Community College (FRCC) is a public community college with three campuses in Colorado, located in Westminster, Longmont, and Fort Collins. It is the largest community college in Colorado and the most popular transfer institution for the University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and CSU Global. The average class size at FRCC is around 15 students.
As Colorado's largest community college and the top transfer pipeline to CU Boulder and CSU, this is a strong option for students who want an affordable path to a four-year degree — median debt at graduation is just $7,000, which is impressively low. The 30% graduation rate is a real concern and worth taking seriously, though community colleges often serve working adults and part-time students whose life circumstances, not academic ability, drive that number. If you have a clear transfer goal and the discipline to stay on track, the low cost and small class sizes (around 15 students) make this a smart first step.
