AY17 Fact Book Highlights
Front Range Community College, created in 1968, is the largest of the 13 community
colleges in the Colorado Community College System. Our service area, as defined by the
Colorado Department of Higher Education, spans the entire northern Front Range from
north Denver to Wyoming. The service area intersects seven counties: Adams, Boulder,
Broomfield, Denver, Jefferson, Larimer, and Weld.
In AY17 (summer 2016, fall 2016, and spring 2017), the college-wide unduplicated
headcount was 28,270 (11,598.5 FTE). College Now students (high school students
receiving college credit) account for 4,728 of these students, with 693.8 FTE held at their
high schools.
Mission
We enrich lives through learning.
Accreditation
The Higher Learning Commission, a commission of the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools, accredits Front Range
Community College. The Commission granted FRCC continued
accreditation during its site visit in 2008. Their next scheduled
comprehensive visit is October 2017.
In addition to this institutional accreditation, many academic
programs are accredited by organizations specific to their discipline.

Faculty and Staff
As of November 2016, the college employed 1,544 faculty and staff. This total includes
1,117 faculty/instructors (241 full-time faculty and 876 part-time instructors).
Foundation
Established in 1994, the mission of the Front Range Community College Foundation
Transforming lives by inspiring others to invest in the success of Front Range
Community College. Annually the FRCC Foundation awards over $700,000 in
scholarship and program support. Over the past four years, the foundation has seen
substantial growth and in FY17 raised over $1 million to advance FRCC’s mission.
Degrees/Certificates
Students may earn an associate’s degree or a certificate from FRC. In AY17, FRCC
offered three liberal arts (transfer) degrees with 27 degrees with designations linked to
them. FRCC offers 36 career-technical programs consisting of 41 associate degrees and
121 certificates.
In AY17, there were 3,647 postsecondary certificates and 1,899 degrees conferred. The
most popular certificates were the Business, Welding, Automotive Technology and
Emergency Medical Services certificates. The most popular degrees, after the liberal arts
transfer degrees (AA/AS), were Nursing, Accounting, Multimedia Graphic Design, and
Computer Networking.
Operating Budget
The total FY17 expenditures were $91,008,568. Fifty-six percent of the budget was
expended on instruction ($51,119,804). Nineteen percent went to academic support,
student services and scholarships. The remaining twenty-five percent went to public
service, institutional support, plant operation and maintenance and transfers.
Special Projects in Institutional Research:
Presented at Association for Institutional Research (AIR) Annual Forum in
Washington D.C., titled “Automate ArcGIS with Python to Streamline
Geographic Data Analysis”
Supported Grants in applying for Title III Grant, and maintaining TRIO and
CHAMP grants.
Provided data for College Now personnel for their innovation grant on improving
partnerships with the local high schools.
Interviewed county managers in the FRCC service area to ascertain where they
project the population growth and industrial demands will be in the coming
decade.
Submitted data for two economic impact reports from Economic Modeling
Specialists Inc. (EMSI). One was college-wide as part of the system office
statewide project and one was a joint effort between FRCC Larimer campus and
UNC, CSU, and Aims for a northern Colorado economic impact report.
Collaborated with Budgets to create a model that can show how changes in FTE
via more students, higher retention, students taking more credits, or tuition
increases impacts our budget.
Prepared two research briefs on undeclared students and on students co-enrolled
at another institution. Both briefs suggest that around 5% of our students could be
more accurately described as “guest students” who don’t intend to graduate from
FRCC.
Worked with Westminster high school district to explore the success rates of their
students who matriculate to FRCC so they can create a plan to help their students
be more successful in high school and college.
Teamed with HR, Budget, and IT to streamline the delivery of annual employee
salary notifications using a paperless format.

Office of Institutional Research
“Collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and delivering institutional information.”
2017 Graduate Survey Analysis (AY16 Graduates) The Office of Institutional Research administered a survey during the winter of 2016/17 to all FRCC graduates from the academic year of AY16. While there were 3,642 distinct graduates, they can be duplicated across types of degrees and programs. 1,473 responded to our survey, resulting in a 40% response rate (up from last year’s 38%). All graduates, Career Technical (CTE) and Transfer degrees, were emailed a long survey if they had a valid email address. CTE non-respondents were then phoned using a short form of the survey with the 10 questions mandated by the state. Because of the more intense effort employed with CTE graduates, their response rate was 55% compared to 13% from the graduates with transfer degrees. The complete survey and all summary results are posted on the IR web site. Highlights of this year’s results include:
Overall 96% of respondents reported that their program of study met their educational goals.
96% felt that FRCC prepared them “Well” or “Very Well” for continuing their educational programs.
76% are currently pursuing further education.
81% are employed.
47% of CTE respondents had taken a state licensing or industry certification test, with 99% of them passing.
73% reported that Technology enhanced their learning process at FRCC.
Employment Success 81% of graduates were employed, with 48% in occupations related to their training. The median wage of those employed related to their training was $16.00
Campus Experience About three-fourths of respondents felt that technology enhanced their learning process and that their learned technology skills were up-to-date.
Technology enhanced learning process at FRCC 424 73%
Technology skills learned were complete and up to date 453 78%

Objective While the majority of graduates reported their objective was to earn a degree or certificate, there was a large minority of respondents who reported that their objective had been to take a few courses and transfer, or personal interest. Whatever their original objective, they all graduated.

Comments 329 students wrote comments in the survey. While these can be very contradictory, with one graduate praising a department while the next is highly critical of it, the clear majority of students indicated a high degree of satisfaction with FRCC, their program, other students and staff, but most especially, their instructors. They called instructors out by name to express their appreciation for these extraordinary people. They often had suggestions for how a program could be improved, and they expressed sadness at leaving an environment that had nurtured them. A copy of these comments is available upon request. If you would like a more detailed analysis or have additional questions, please contact Kim Wallace ([email protected] (303) 404-5316).
