The 2002-2003 General Catalog
This is an exciting time to be a student at California
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. Four years ago we established the new
Smittcamp Family Honors College, a program that
combines the best of a small liberal arts college experi-ence
with the advantages of a large public university.
We also implemented a new General Education pro-gram
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 environment we provide our students.
Engagement with our community and region is also
one of our top priorities. We have more than 30 aca-demic
centers and institutes that provide applied
research and service, contributing more than 25,000
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 the Central California Valley. Students are also engaged in internships, cooperative
learning programs, and other initiatives that allow them to contribute their skills and experi-ences
to our community.
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
economic 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 and our faculty, staff and administrators
are all committed to your success.
