Meet Our Graduates

“I chose Fremont College because they had a sports program – that’s what got my attention. Every other school that I looked into only had the basics, like massage, and this was the only school that was local to me that focused on sports, and offered a lot of hands-on training. When I came in, they told me that they do a lot of volunteer work, and I’m a hands-on type of person so that got my attention.” -Miguel Sanchez, Sports and Rehabilitation Therapy Graduate 2012
