Overview of Fresno State
As one of the 23 campuses that make up the California State University, Fresno is a member of one of the largest systems of higher education in the world. Fresno State was launched in 1911 as Fresno State Normal School and, 10 years later, transformed into a teacher's college. Advanced degrees were first offered at the school in 1949.
A few of the prominent disciplines available through the university include Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Arts and Humanities, Engineering, Health and Human Services, Science and Math, and Social Sciences. Fresno State also offers Graduate Studies and Continuing and Global Education courses. In addition, the university is home to the Craig School of Business and the Kremen School of Education and Human Development.
Fresno State’s main campus covers nearly 400 acres in the San Joaquin Valley. The campus and its 1,011-acre University Farm are located at the northeast edge of Fresno, California, at the foot of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range. The surrounding San Joaquin Valley is one of the richest agricultural areas in the world, and Fresno is the sixth-largest city in California. The university is within an hour’s drive of many mountain and lake resorts and within a three- or four-hour drive of both Los Angeles and San Francisco.
