In its early beginnings, the school was called The College of Continuing Education Foundation and it was later in 1978 that its name was changed to Frontier Community College – Illinois Eastern Community Colleges.

The FCC- IECC delivers exceptional education in order to improve not only the lives of students but also the immediate community surrounding the institution. Currently, the school offers pre-baccalaureate and technical education to students. The academic programs include automotive technology, basic computing, healthcare, and information technology to name a few.

The tuition fee rate in IECC varies depending on the origin of students. For in-district students, the fee is $77 per credit hour while out-of-district students and non-US residents have to pay $246 and $310 per credit hour respectively.

On the other hand, IECC also offers district wide transfer programs to students who wish to pursue four year courses in other FCC campuses as well as other colleges and universities. Fortunately, FCC follows the Illinois Transfer Curriculum thus it makes it easier for students to have their units credited by other schools.
