Drawing on a lifetime of teaching experience, the Fromm Institute faculty is composed of retired professors from colleges and universities throughout the United States. Freed from assigning grades, these men and women benefit from instructing persons interested in learning for learning's sake. Furthermore, professors are encouraged to develop new courses of interest to them, ensuring stimulating courses for both teachers and their students.

During their distinguished careers the Fromm Institute faculty lectured at some of the world's prominent educational institutions: University of California, Berkeley; Yale University; Stanford University; University of San Francisco; Northwestern; University of California, San Francisco; Hampshire College; Toulaine University; San Francisco State University; Sophia University, Tokyo; University of Maryland; University of Western Ontario, Canada.
