Forman Christian College (FCC)

FCC campus Forman Christian College (FCC) was founded in 1864 by Charles Forman, an American Presbyterian missionary. Today, FCC has some 3,800 students and 19 departments offering a variety of courses from 'A' Levels to Masters degrees with all teaching conducted in English.

Following three decades of government control, the College was returned to Church control in 2003. Christian and Muslim students study together at FCC as they prepare for responsible positions in the life of Pakistan.

Widely regarded as one of the premier colleges on the sub-continent, FCC has distinguished itself through its remarkable graduates and the achievements of its faculty. Furthermore, FCC has built a reputation for providing outstanding education with innovation and pioneering work in its curriculum, admissions policies, and the rigor of its academic programmes.
