The Institution
About
Established in 2004 as the fourth college in the Los Rios Community College District, Folsom Lake College (FLC) is a vibrant teaching and learning environment that sits on the traditional home of the sovereign Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok peoples who have a unique and enduring relationship stewarding this land since time immemorial.
Despite colonization, occupation, and genocide, the Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok people continue and thrive in their resilience and self-determination.
FLC celebrates and recognizes its Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok tribal neighbors and honors their sustained existence.
With an enrollment of over 10,000 students, FLC is an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), and serves Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students.
The College is comprised of the Folsom main campus and its two educational centers, the El Dorado Center in Placerville (EDC) and the Rancho Cordova Center (RCC).
The college also serves students at multiple local state prisons through an extensive Prison and Reentry Education Program (PREP) and is expanding access to high school students through dual enrollment and middle college programs.
Combined, these form a dynamic learning community committed to academic excellence, innovation, educational equity, inclusive excellence, and social justice.
