About Folsom Lake College

Folsom Lake College is a comprehensive, public community college, the 109th community college in the State of California and the fourth member of the Los Rios Community College District (one of the largest community college districts in California, serving approximately 85,000 students). In January 2004, Folsom Lake College received initial accreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), one of six regional accrediting associations in the U.S. Accreditation certifies to students and the community that an educational institution meets or exceeds specific standards of quality.

Folsom Lake College serves the community with classes offered at:
- The main Folsom campus at 10 College Parkway (just off Highway 50)
- Two centers (the El Dorado Center in Placerville and the Rancho Cordova Center)
- Various off-site locations in communities of the region

The college offers students over 30 different Associate of Arts or Science degree options, as well as over 30 certificate alternatives.
