BERTA GONZALEZ, Ed.D, Interim Director
International Programs. The International Programs Office is responsible for leadership and coordination of international study abroad programs conducted by California State University, Fresno. The office is designed to assist faculty and administrators in developing and strengthening international education efforts; disseminate information about international study opportunities; encourage students to enroll in international study programs; award limited numbers of tuition waivers to international students coming to study in Fresno; and serve as an information center for Fulbright awards and other sources of support for study abroad.
A faculty advisory council works with the director to assist in this task.
The university, in its Vision for the 21st Century: A Plan for Excellence, set a goal to have 10 percent of students participating in study abroad.
Several "semester abroad" programs allow students to complete part of their studies in other countries:
In addition, students have a wide range of study-abroad opportunities
through the CSU International Programs and through the University Studies
Abroad Consortium. (See International
Programs - Special Programs section.)
