Fresno State met all my expectations. The small class sizes allowed me to have a more personal connection with faculty, who are really passionate about what they do. They prepared me well, and I’m grateful to have been able to learn from them. Coming to Fresno State for my master’s degree is the best decision I’ve ever made.

Building careers

 

In April 2024, the Mellon Foundation – the nation’s largest supporter of the arts and humanities– named Fresno State as one of five universities in the country to receive a $5 million grant to establish paid internships for humanities students.

With the funding, the College of Arts and Humanities at Fresno State designed and implemented an internship program that allows students to apply theories learned in coursework. The program embeds career preparation into the curriculum and is transforming student perspectives around the study of the humanities.
