about feather river College
aCaDemiCs
Academic rigor is maintained in a friendly, informal atmosphere by a faculty dedicated to student growth
and success. Each student is expected to spend two hours of study outside of class for every unit of
coursework they take. For example, a full-time student taking 12 units is expected to spend 36 hours of
study and class time to succeed. Office hours, tutoring, and study groups are encouraged as part of a
student’s path to achieving his/her goals.
In addition to the overall student learning outcomes mentioned earlier, students are expected to reach
student learning outcomes defined by each course they take. Course specific student learning outcomes
will generally be listed in each instructor’s course syllabus.
The sTuDenTs
Feather River College’s average enrollment of 1,500 students ensures individual attention in small classes.
The college’s small size also provides a unique opportunity to form lasting friendships. Regardless of age or
educational background, students who share interests and goals are on campus.
Feather River College serves a very diverse population of students who come from all over California, its surrounding
states, and from as far away as the east coast. International students from countries throughout the world also attend.
As is the case with most California community colleges, some students are recent graduates from high
school and others are returning after many years, balancing school with jobs and family obligations.
sTuDenT life
Feather River Country is a land of majestic, snow capped mountains, lush valleys and scattered small towns.
The College is located within walking distance of the picturesque town of Quincy, where 6,000 residents
enjoy a peaceful, unhurried life style and exceptional services. Quincy’s facilities include a library, hospital,
theater, restaurants, churches, and a shopping center. Quincy is the county seat of Plumas Count. With a
total population just over 20,000 the county contains approximately eight people per square mile.
National forest covers about seventy percent of the county, creating a “million-acre classroom”–a natural
laboratory for FRC’s unique outdoor programs. Nearly 350 miles of marked trails wind through the area,
including about 75 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. In addition, over 1,000 miles of river and streams and more
than 100 lakes provide a recreational wonderland.
Plumas County’s four-season climate and miles of wide open spaces favor outdoor activities. Fall, summer
and spring invite hiking, biking, fishing, boating, tennis, golf, climbing, swimming, waterskiing and
horseback riding. When the snow falls, cross-country ski trails lead in every direction. Other local favorite
activities include snow camping, ice skating, and snowmobiling.
Diversity
On campus, students enjoy a variety of extra and co-curricular activities designed to reflect the interests of
a diverse student population. Activities include entertaining and educational events that promote cultural
and social awareness. Events are presented by the associated student organization, student support
programs, music and drama classes, local artisan groups, and out-of-area performers.
Athletics
FRC participates in intercollegiate men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, and rodeo, men’s football and
baseball, and women’s softball and volleyball. Campus athletic facilities include a gymnasium, outdoor
courts for tennis and basketball, an all-weather track and football stadium, as well as baseball, softball and
soccer facilities.
