Extension Programs Office 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.

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 non-credit.

Extension Courses. Various academic departments offer conferences, institutes, workshops, seminars, and courses at several sites throughout the university's service area through the Extension Programs Office.

Open University provides an opportunity for those individuals who are not matriculated at the university to enroll in regular courses. These courses are open to anyone in the community.

Travel Study Programs. These programs feature a pleasant and rewarding way to learn about another culture. With university faculty members as escorts, these programs offer cultural activities based on a unique combination of travel and learning.

Non-credit 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. These programs allow students living in other areas to earn degrees without moving or commuting to the campus. They consist of weekend classes designed for working professionals and held at selected locations throughout the Central Valley.
