Is Fremont College accredited? What does that mean for me as a student?

We are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). That means that an independent regulating agency, approved by the US Department of Education, evaluated our programs based on a set of nationally-recognized standards. So, when you receive your degree from Fremont College, our peer academic institutions and your potential employers will recognize the work you've put in to completing your education.

I'm interested in pursuing my college degree, but I have no way of funding it. What are my options?

What's the vibe at Fremont College?
 

We have a fast-paced, professional environment that's all about learning.

We believe in group discussions, kinesthetic learning by doing rather than memorizing, and socio-cultural learning through inquiries. Students also attend unique community events and internships during their studies. We encourage students to join the community and be leaders, rather than just studying from textbooks.

Why Fremont College? How does it stand out in comparison to other colleges?

Among all of Fremont Differences, two stand out the most. One is Professional Action Learning™, our unique way of teaching through teamwork, collaboration, and inquiry. How you get to a destination can be as important as the destination itself. Our students learn the way to apply their knowledge in their everyday professional lives. Professional Action Learning replaces lectures and textbooks with real-world situations and team-based learning.

The second main factor is our rock-star advisory board and faculty members. They are involved with the college's curriculum and the board helps to set our strategic direction. Most of our faculty are working professionals. They bring the boardroom experience into the classroom, and provide guidance to Fremont's dedicated career planning department to assist our students from orientation day to graduation day and beyond.

I haven't always done well in school, and am a little intimidated about starting college.

Everyone learns differently. Most traditional education hours are spent listening to lectures and memorizing textbooks. A lot of our students learn better by doing. You are encouraged to ask questions, work with your classmates in teams, watch relevant TV and movie clips, read newspapers and magazines to discuss current events and attend various workshops. The most important things we ask of our students are commitment and focus.
