Creative scheduling and use of space required the college to move from the high school and find a new location, so the college was relocated to the Regional Treatment Center, then known as the State Hospital. Eight years after its beginning, the college moved onto its present location. Things have changed. Forty years since those first students came to campus, the Fergus Falls Community College has a total enrollment of more than 2,000 students both on campus and in off-campus programs. Buildings have been added, stretched, and connected across the 146-acre campus, now surrounded by residential and commercial development.
Seedlings planted by grade school children now stand as mature trees.
The Fergus Falls Community College now offers the first two years of most degrees for transfer to a four-year institution, from accounting to zoology. Some of FFCC's common transferring majors include agribusiness, biology, business, communications, computer science, criminal justice, education, and health occupations. Student life and leadership opportunities abound with a variety of organizations and activities. A vast permanent art collection and monthly art exhibits through the academic year show the college's longtime commitment to the arts. Intercollegiate men's and women's athletics bring the excitement of college-level action.
