Established in the summer of 1976, FCC is one of four colleges that make up the greater Illinois Eastern Community College (IECC) District. Initially, the IECC Board of Trustees commissioned FCC to serve Clay, Edwards, Jasper, Lawrence, Wayne, and White Counties. In establishing this charge, FCC was built as a promise to our community to be “the campus without walls.” That commitment – of bringing continuing education and training to where the learners are – still provides an underpinning that influences the accessibility and flexibility of our programs and services. Today, as the college has grown to adapt to the requirements of a knowledge-based economy and to further support the economic development of our region, we have continued our “campus without walls” mission and expanded it to the “college beyond walls.” Building upon the initial vision for the college, Frontier now provides a comprehensive curriculum of transfer-oriented baccalaureate, career and technical, liberal arts and sciences, continuing education, and adult basic education courses – many of which lead to associate degrees and/or certificates. In addition, the college is happy to customize skills-based education and training opportunities to meet the needs of employers and employees. In doing so, Frontier has earned a solid reputation for providing high quality, practical, accessible, flexible, and affordable education, and services. Toward that end, the faculty and staff are dedicated to being a great Community College, an ambition which begins and ends with fulfilling this promise for each and every one of our students, employers, and community residents. -President Timothy Taylor, PhD
