The 2009-2010 General Catalog
This is an exciting time to be a student at Califor-nia
State University, Fresno. We are a learning com-munity
that values scholarship and creative think-ing,
and we are uniquely poised to provide a quality
education to all our students. The Smittcamp
Family Honors College combines the best of a
small liberal arts college experience with the advan-tages
of a large public university. At Fresno State
our number one priority is to enhance continu-ously
the quality of the learning environment we
provide our students.
Engagement with our community and region is
one of our top priorities. We have more than 50
academic centers and institutes that provide applied
research and service; students contribute more than
600,000 hours a year to the needs of others in our
region. Through the Jan and Bud Richter Center
for Community Engagement and Service-Learn-ing,
Fresno State students are making a signifi cant
difference in the lives of the residents of Central
California. Students are also engaged in intern-ships,
cooperative learning programs, and other initiatives that allow them to contribute their
skills and experiences to our community.
Through our “Plan for Excellence III: 2006-2011,” we are seeking to become one of the top 10
comprehensive engaged universities in the country. Our emphasis will be on promoting the
success of students, advancing graduate education, engaging with the region, generating private
support, and building our community. The Plan for Excellence III serves as our guide as we
move forward to meet ever new challenges. Our current plan includes new instructional deliv-ery
systems using the latest technology, partnerships with all levels of education, greater reliance
on non-state sources of support, more effi cient use of our facilities, and a commitment to both
undergraduate and graduate students in new and existing high quality academic programs.
During your time at Fresno State, you will benefi t from many of these changes.
The General Catalog refl ects the university’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence. This
tradition will continue to grow as we actively recruit highly qualifi ed students. The university
will continue to offer a breadth of study that includes degrees at the bachelor’s and master’s
level and at the doctoral level in selected fi elds. Students from all walks of life, of many ethnici-ties,
of both sexes, and of all economic levels participate in the Fresno State learning commu-nity
as they strive to meet their academic goals.
Fresno State is a rich and diverse learning community. Our faculty, staff, and administrators are
all committed to your success.
