The 2006-2007 General Catalog
This is an exciting time to be a student at Califor-nia
State University, Fresno. We are a learning
community that values scholarship and creative
thinking, 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 advantages of a large public university. We
have also implemented a new General Education
program that provides our students with an
outstanding academic foundation. At Fresno
State our number one priority is to enhance
continuously the quality of the learning environ-ment
we provide our students.
Engagement with our community and region is
also one of our top priorities. We have more than
50 academic centers and institutes that provide
applied research and service; students contribute
more than 200,000 hours a year to the needs of
others in our region. Through service learning
courses and our Students for Community Service
program, Fresno State students are making a significant difference in the lives of the residents
of Central California. Students are also engaged in internships, cooperative learning programs,
and other initiatives that allow them to contribute their skills and experiences to our commu-nity.
This year we will continue to establish innovative programs and services to meet the goals in
our “Plan for Excellence II: 2001-2006.” The Plan for Excellence II serves as our guide as we
move forward to meet ever new challenges. Our current plan includes new instructional
delivery systems using the latest technology, partnerships with all levels of education, greater
reliance on non-state sources of support, more efficient 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 benefit from many of these changes.
The General Catalog reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence. This
tradition will continue to grow as we actively recruit highly qualified students and continue to
build our new honors program. 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 educational
leadership. Students from all walks of life, of many ethnicities, of both sexes, and of all eco-nomic
levels participate in the Fresno State learning community 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.
