Division of Continuing and Global Education
The Division of Continuing Global Education at Fresno State offers a diverse array of programming to connect the campus and community. The Division includes four major areas: extended education, international affairs (international student services and admissions), community and economic development, and study abroad. The Division offers bachelor's and master's degrees, certificates, continuing education and professional development courses, personal enrichment classes and global education programs such as intensive language development and academic exchanges. By eliminating barrier to success and ensuring access to higher education across the region, the division is creating a more equitable and hopeful future.
Veterans Education Program
The transition from military life to higher education is challenging. This program bridges military life to civilian life to higher education; removing barriers, including the cost of attendance, for service members and veterans. It does this by providing a two semester program toward an undergraduate degree in English, Speech, Critical Thinking and Mathematics. No state funding is allocated to this program, rather, funding comes solely from philanthropic partners. After successful completion of the program, qualified students may transition to full-time Fresno State students.
Study Abroad
Nearly 90% of Fresno State students are from the Central Valley and many haven’t traveled outside our region. We know that these high-impact experiences change students’ lives. Your gift supports study abroad opportunities that enrich students’ cultural knowledge, increase their self-confidence, and make them better community members when they return to the Central Valley from their studies abroad.
