PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy is for everyone who wants
to have fun thinking about interesting
ideas while becoming a more critical
and creative thinker. In FRCC philosophy
classes you will explore engaging issues
and ideas in ethics, religion, and politics,
and about the environment, death and
dying, and the nature of reality itself.
Philosophy students read and analyze
arguments and debate worthwhile
ideas through discussion and
writing. In FRCC philosophy classes,
you won’t be told what to think–
you will be challenged to take your
own ideas seriously! Any philosophy
class at FRCC will help you gain
intellectual skills that will support your
success in college and support your
future career and life goals whatever
they may be.
MUSIC
Recording, performing, producing,
composing and collaborating.
All of this is bubbling in the Music
Program at FRCC. When you walk
by the music rooms in Red Cloud
Peak at Larimer campus, listen and
look for our students mastering their
craft on an instrument or refining
their music through recording
software. What you see and
hear at Larimer Campus is just
the surface. Underneath, there
is a web of student projects that
connect high school concurrent
enrollment students, online
students, professional community
partners, and local music
organizations.
THEATRE
Theatre is still an essential part of a liberal arts
education. Front Range Community College
offers many classes that build towards an
associate of arts degree. Theatre builds
confidence using creativity, design, and
collaboration, which exercise critical
thinking skills. The Production Class is
a fantastic example of how an arts
curriculum develops skills through
a live performance. The students
write, direct, act, design, and run
the technical aspects of the show.
We are currently working on the fall
show of Student Written 10-Minute
Plays. Be sure to look for these every
Fall semester. Support your peers by
attending theatre performances.
HUMANITIES
In Humanities and Art History, we take a deeper
look at some of the most enduring and valued
creations of humanity across millennia and from
around the world. The purpose is to consider
the ways in which people have responded
to the challenges of living as human beings
in a complex and confusing world. Studying
visual art and architecture, reading literature,
philosophy, history and drama, to name
but a few examples, and discussing the
implications of what they tell us, all
in the contexts of the history
of their time is at the heart
of the enterprise. As Mark
Twain is rumored to have
said, “History doesn’t repeat
itself but it often rhymes.” The
poetry that human history creates
makes for a vital and fascinating
exploratory journey.
