What's Unique at Fremont College
Fremont College's teaching philosophy is based on research conducted by Dr. Sabrina Kay in her studies at USC and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Combining theories on human brain mapping, motivation, learning styles, and thinking methodology, Professional Action Learning® (PAL) attempts to teach students using a variety of instructional techniques beyond the standard books and exams. A 6-step process, PAL's goal is to improve student engagement and expand the learning experience, regardless of the students' academic history or background. The methodology involves guest speakers, videos, hands-on skills practice, group discussion, questions, dialogue, and student presentations. The College also follows the immersion education philosophy, where students focus on a single course at a time in order to focus on the subject matter before moving on to the next topic.
