A new partnership between Fremont Community Schools and Trine University will allow
Fremont High School students to earn an associate degree after as little as one semester
at Trine.
Through the new Fremont Early College Alliance, students will be able to select from
18 Fremont High School courses that will also count for college credit at Trine. Fremont
High School students also can enroll in additional courses available on the Trine
University campus at a reduced tuition rate.
Fremont students who complete the necessary course requirements will be awarded an
associate in science or associate of general studies degree, if they attend Trine
University directly after high school graduation and successfully complete one semester
as a full-time degree-seeking student.
The Fremont Early College Alliance expands on the longstanding partnership between
Fremont Community Schools and Trine University that has allowed Fremont High School
students to earn extensive college credit prior to graduating high school.
“Trine University has been an excellent partner in the initiation, maintenance and
growth of the dual credit program at Fremont High School,” said Mark Sherbondy, Fremont
High School principal. “Trine’s rigorous, high-quality courses help raise the academic
expectations across the board for the entire Fremont school community. Fremont High
School families enjoy all the advantages of earning college credits while in high
school. The acceptance rate of Trine University credits allows students to save tuition
dollars and provides flexibility to double major and graduate early.”
“Trine University is excited to be working with Fremont High School in providing new
ways for their students to earn and benefit from college credit,” said Nicholas Gray,
director of dual enrollment and K-12 partnerships at Trine. “This a great partnership
to help local students get ahead in taking college courses at reduced rate, while
earning both their high school diploma and credits toward a Trine University degree.”
