History
History is the study of humanity’s recorded past. It encompasses
all aspects of human behavior, social organization, and cultural
development. The arts and the sciences, the development of
technology, and changing economic forces are as much a part of
history as is politics or social conflict.
Students of history are engaged in a journey through time in
which they can witness and compare the development of a variety
of cultures and the interrelations between people in many different
circumstances. Through the study of past events, history provides
a great storehouse of experience by which the theories of the
other social sciences can be tested. And through its analysis of
the development of institutions and cultures, it provides one of our
best tools for understanding social phenomena.
History is also one of the broadest and most universal of the
humanities. Just as the personalities of individuals are shaped
through the totality of their past experiences, so cultures and
institutions also develop in time. The study of history can help
students understand themselves and their culture better and
develop a more tolerant and humane spirit toward others. In this
way, as in so many others, a knowledge of the past can help all
of us meet the problems of today with greater understanding and
compassion.
Program
The History Department offers a major and minor in history for the
Bachelor of Arts degree, a graduate program leading to the Mas-ter
of Arts, and courses for use in the teaching credential program.
It participates in the interdisciplinary programs and minors in
Armenian studies, Asian studies, classical studies, Latin Ameri-can
studies, Russian area studies, and women’s studies. History
courses may also be used as electives toward graduation in most
other majors, and the History Department encourages students to
take minors and second majors in other fields as well.
The History Department is a chartered member of Phi Alpha Theta
National History Honor Society. Our chapter is Alpha Kappa Beta.

M.S. in Industrial Technology
The Industrial Technology program at California State University,
Fresno is geared towards preparing students for managerial and
leadership roles in the industry. The program equips students
with the necessary skills to use and manage state-of-the-art
technologies in the fields of agricultural information systems,
manufacturing, processing and packaging, quality systems and
transportation. A blend of lectures, online instruction and hands-
on lab activities together with engaged faculty and staff provides
students with an environment that nurtures critical thinking and
encourages innovation. The undergraduate curriculum includes
technical concentrations in the areas of automotive technologies,
food processing, and packaging, manufacturing quality and spatial
technology which build on the strong foundations of our technolo-gy
and management core courses.
The major focus of IT is to prepare individuals for technical and
industrial management positions. Examples of positions held by
IT graduates include plant engineer, fleet service representa-tive,
manufacturing engineer, operations supervisor, production
planning analyst, production scheduling coordinator, and quality
systems supervisor.
Average salaries for Fresno State IT graduates are commensu-rate
with those offered to business managers and engineers in the
Central Valley as well as in the greater Bay Area and Los Angeles
areas. IT graduates typically enjoy career growth in both manage-ment
and technological pathways.
The program also provides students the opportunity to interact
with industry professionals and practitioners through activities
organized by various professional societies such as the Ameri-can
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE); American Society of
Quality (ASQ); Association of Technology, Management, and Ap-plied
Engineering (ATMAE); American Society of Agricultural and
Biological Engineers (ASABE); and Institute of Food Technologists
(IFT). Major student clubs are Advanced Technology Enterprises
(ATE); Epsilon Pi Tau (EPT); and American Society of Heat-ing,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
Through participation in one or more of these groups, students
learn more about their profession and interact with working pro-fessionals
in their field. Internships are also available to provide
on-the-job experience to interested students.
