The Division of Extended Education is responsible for providing adult
learners with educational opportunities designed to meet their needs for
career advancement, professional growth, or life enrichment.
California State University, Fresno is sensitive to the ever-changing demands
of adult life and attempts to meet these diverse educational needs through
its many offerings and formats.
Extension Programs. Various academic departments offer conferences,
institutes, workshops, seminars, and courses at several sites throughout
the university's service area through the Division of Extended Education.
The financially self-supporting Extension Program includes a variety of
courses in all disciplines to meet the growing demand for continuing education.
To provide flexibility and to better serve the needs of the entire community,
regular university courses are offered for credit, as well as other programs
for noncredit.
Open University provides an opportunity for those individuals who
are not matriculated at the university to enroll in regular courses as an
extension student. These courses are open to anyone in the community.
Travel Study Programs feature a most pleasant and rewarding way to
learn about another culture. Our instructors design cultural programming
to include a variety of interactive and experiential learning activities.
Noncredit Programs. Offerings in this area include specially designed
programs developed to satisfy the needs of the specific participants or
organizations involved. Short courses, conferences, seminars, workshops,
institutes, and test preparation classes are offered regularly throughout
the year.
Certificate Programs are designed for adults seeking in-depth knowledge
or competency in a specialized area but who do not need a degree. With segments
building upon one another, these programs help increase participants' advancement
and/or career options.
Off-Campus Degree Programs allow students living in other areas to
earn degrees without moving or commuting to the campus. They consist of
classes held at remote sites as well as interactive courses that originate
on the university's campus and are broadcast to select locations throughout
the state.
Summer and Winter Programs. The university offers short-term summer
session and winter session classes to university students who wish to earn
residence credit toward a degree and to individuals from the community wishing
to continue their education. These programs often accelerate progress toward
earning a degree or credential.
