The mission of Forman Christian College (A Chartered University) is to impart, create and disseminate knowledge and to develop informed, ethical, and responsible citizens who are prepared and committed to learn, lead and serve persons who exemplify the FCCU motto, “By love serve one another.”
The vision of FCCU is to be recognized as one of the very best educational institutions in the entire subcontinent. This is in keeping with the distinguished reputation established during the first century in its life.
Enriched with the enduring qualities of a liberal arts education, FCCU seeks to graduate students who are well-prepared for success in their careers. However, it is impossible to predict what a person will need to know for success on the job twenty years from now, but we know that new knowledge will have to be mastered that does not even exist today in most jobs. Therefore, it is more important to learn how to learn, think, solve problems, and communicate effectively rather than just focus narrowly on the content of an academic discipline. The educational program is designed to help students develop these skills.
In the early years, degrees were awarded through Calcutta University. College-level instruction was interrupted in 1869 due to the illness of key faculty members. College classes resumed in 1886, with degrees being awarded through the University of Punjab. In 2004, FCCU became a chartered University and from 2009 onwards has awarded its degrees.
FCCU has been a leader in the development of curriculum among the universities of Pakistan. Through the years, the college was introduced into the curriculum such as the Sciences, Economics, Psychology, Geography, Technical Chemistry, and Sociology.
FCCU also has a distinguished record of performing service for the nation. At the time of Independence, the college converted two hostels into a hospital for refugees seeking medical assistance and thus began United Christian Hospital.
In 1972 the college was nationalized by the government. It was returned to the present owners of the college on 19 March 2003. In March 2004, the government granted University status to FCCU. The University embarked upon an exciting new stage in its history in September 2005 when it began a four-year Baccalaureate (Honors) program designed under world-class standards for accreditation.
FCCU is an HEC-recognized, W-category University. It currently has 6,347 students, 220 full-time faculty members with over 100 PhDs, and over 21,700 registered alumni. The University offers Baccalaureate and Postgraduate programs. The 4-year Baccalaureate Honors program, started in 2005, offers an American style, world-class liberal arts education at affordable tuitions. New postgraduate programs started with the MBA in 2007 and now include PhDs, MPhils, Masters, and Executive education programs in specific disciplines. FCCU’s generous financial aid program and scholarships for deserving students make high-quality education accessible to students from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
