California State University, Fresno
California State University, Fresno (branded as Fresno State) is a public university in Fresno, California, United States. It is part of the California State University system. The university had a fall 2020 enrollment of 25,341 students. It offers 60 bachelor's degree program, 45 master's degree programs, 3 doctoral degree programs, 12 certificates of advanced study, and 2 different teaching credentials. The university is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". Fresno is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and is eligible to be designated as an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI).
The university's facilities include an on-campus planetarium, on-campus raisin and wine grape vineyards, and a commercial winery where student-made wines have won over 300 awards since 1997. Members of Fresno State's nationally ranked equestrian team have the option of housing their horses on campus, next to indoor and outdoor arenas. Fresno State has a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) Student Recreation Center and the third-largest library (by square footage) in the California State University system.
California State University, Fresno was founded as the Fresno State Normal School in 1911 with Charles Lourie McLane as its first president. It was one of about 180 "normal schools" founded by state governments to train teachers for the rapidly growing public common schools. Some closed but most steadily expanded their role and became state colleges in the early 20th century and state universities in the late 20th century.
The original campus was what is now Fresno City College. In 1956, Fresno State moved its campus to its present location in the northeast part of the city; FCC bought the old campus and moved back in. It became Fresno State College in 1949, when it was authorized to grant bachelor's degrees. It became a charter institution of the State College System of California, forerunner of the California State University System, in 1961. In 1972, the name was officially changed to California State University, Fresno.
Even after changing its official name to "California State University, Fresno", the school has long been called "Fresno State" for short, particularly in athletics. In recent years, "Fresno State" has been accepted as first reference for news stories. The university now recommends use of "Fresno State" in most contexts, stating "California State University, Fresno is the official name, but should only be used for specific audiences or international audiences."
The greater campus extends from Valley Children's Stadium on the west boundary to Highway 168 on the east side. The University Agricultural Laboratory designates the northern boundary of the campus, while Shaw Avenue designates the southern edge.
The Fresno State Library is a main resource for recorded knowledge and information supporting the teaching, research, and service functions of Fresno State.
The library was opened in 2009. It houses 1,000,000 books in its 327,920 sq ft (30,465 m2). The shelves amount to over 20 miles (32 km) in length. It is currently the third largest library in the CSU system (in terms of square footage) and the largest academic building on the Fresno State campus. The five-story building features seating areas for almost 4,000 people, group study rooms, wireless Internet access and a Starbucks.
