Not Your Grandpappy's Teacher's College (Although He Might Get a Discount)
Fresno State started out in 1911 as a teacher's college, but let's be real, teaching's awesome and all, but the world needs more than just school tutors (although, shout out to all the teachers out there, you da real MVPs). These days, we're a comprehensive university, which basically means we're a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-many.
Thinking business? We got you covered. Accounting, marketing, you name it. Feeling creative? We've got art, music, and even a film program (who knows, you might be the next Steven Spielberg!). Need a degree that sounds fancy? We even have doctoral programs!
More Than Just Textbooks and Tests (Although There Will Be Some of Those)
Fresno State isn't just about hitting the books (though our library is pretty darn cool). We're big on hands-on learning. Want to intern with a local company? We can help with that. Feeling the entrepreneurial spirit? We've got programs to turn your million-dollar idea into a reality (or at least a lemonade stand that makes a killing).
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
And let's not forget about the fun stuff! We've got a rockin' campus life with clubs, events, and, of course, the legendary Fresno State Bulldogs athletics. Cheer on the team, or join an intramural sports league and become a legend yourself (though maybe not that legendary).
But wait, there's more! Fresno State is also:
- Public: Which means it's affordable (relatively speaking)
- Diverse: Our campus is a melting pot of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.
- Beautiful: Seriously, the campus is pretty darn stunning.
Still on the Fence? That's Okay, We Get It.
College is a big decision, and we wouldn't want you to choose us just because we have a hilarious mascot (although, Bulldogs are pretty awesome). So, if you're still wondering if Fresno State is the right fit for you, check out these handy FAQs:
