Why Our Students Love Fresno Pacific University

Content provided allows you to take what you learn and immediately use it to enhance lessons in your classroom.

Amy – Strasburg, PA

The information that I have been able to learn and then apply in my classroom from the courses that I have taken has been amazing.

Brian – York, PA

The professor was outstanding! Lightning fast turnaround on grades and wonderful feedback. The best part about this course is that I can integrate the majority of these practices with AI directly into my classroom.

Educator – Ohio

This course gave me great ideas for how to incorporate historical context into math and opened my eyes to how important it is to just focus on the “how” to do math algorithms, but taking time to explain how these concepts came to be!

Educator – Illinois

To have the professors contact me personally is amazing. They are always available. Thanks for the outstanding classes!

Ana – Fresno, CA

This class was phenomenal for me personally, and I’m so very glad that I came across it and decided to take it. This is one of the few classes that I have taken that directly relates to what I teach. This class gave me a vast array of teaching ideas, techniques, and experiments to use immediately in my health classes.
