History

Established in 1968.

FRCC traces its heritage to the founding of the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education in 1967, which in 1968 established the North Campus of the Community College of Denver as its first new creation.[5] In 1984 the North Campus was renamed as Front Range Community College and spun off as an independent institution in 1985. In 1988, the Larimer County Voc-​Tech Center was incorporated as the Larimer Campus of FRCC. The college was accredited by the The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1975.
