| What Are Some Interesting Facts About Fresno State |
From Humble Beginnings to Bulldog Grandeur
Fresno State started life in 1911 as the Fresno State Normal School, which sounds less like a place of higher learning and more like a particularly enthusiastic school for teaching people how to be normal. But hey, we all gotta start somewhere, right? Thankfully, by 1949, they'd ditched the "normal" bit and were cranking out full-fledged bachelors degrees.
Fun Fact Alert! Fresno State was actually the first CSU campus to offer a program leading to a doctorate degree on a single campus. That's right, they were pioneers in the PhD-ing business (although, technically, it's a Doctorate of Education).
