The University of California established the UC Center, Fresno in 1997 to better serve the educational needs of San Joaquin Valley residents and to prepare for the opening of UC Merced.

The UC Center, Fresno gathers many of the region's UC programs into one centralized facility and fosters an environment in which academic degree, extension, outreach, and research initiatives can be established and delivered to students, parents, alumni, professionals, and the community. UC Center partners also include other non-profit and educational organizations.

Services such as undergraduate admissions information, summer courses for UC students, professional development, teacher training, workshops for educational counselors, and public policy forums are offered at the UC Center, Fresno. In addition, office space and meeting facilities are available for rent.

The UC Center, Fresno is one of three distributed learning sites that will expand educational access to students by using Internet and videoconferencing technology to deliver UC course work conveniently and economically throughout the valley. UC Merced opened a second center in Merced in 1999, and a center in Bakersfield in 2000.

At the UC Center, Fresno, the University of California has formed a unique gathering of educational, health care, and community-based organizations that provides new opportunities for collaborative work of benefit to valley residents.
