Overview
Fremont College is an institution of higher learning in Cerritos, California, tracing its roots to Platt College in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1879. The most significant step in the evolution of the College started when its third CEO, Dr. Sabrina Kay, assumed leadership in 2007.
Fremont became an innovative center adopting the framework of Professional Action Learning,® which combines an understanding of human motivation, learning styles, and thinking patterns to create an instructional framework that improves student engagement and the learning experience. In 2010, Fremont opened a second campus in Los Angeles. The College offers degree programs in business, legal studies, design, and wellness.
