Since 1911, the University has grown to impact every facet of our region. Today, Fresno State admits, enrolls and graduates hardworking students from families of all income levels in larger numbers than ever before. Eighty percent of Fresno State’s students hail from the surrounding San Joaquin Valley and 65.7% are the first in their families to earn a college degree, changing the future trajectory of their families. At the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, our compassion for students is top-of-mind. With 80% of Fresno State graduates remaining in the Valley to become the next generation of leaders, they will become our future farmers, engineers, business leaders, scientists, accountants, nurses, social workers, artists, teachers and law enforcement.

Approximately 80% of Fresno State students stay in the Central Valley to contribute their skills and knowledge to our community.
