More than 6,000 new graduates were celebrated May 16 and 17 at
Fresno State, including 153 international graduates from 35 nations across the globe.

As is tradition at the international convocation, graduates toss their caps in the air to celebrate, making for a picturesque moment. With an enrollment of more than 24,310 students, 574 come from other countries to study in the Central Valley.

Class of 2025 by the numbers:

About 68% of the graduating students in the class of 2025 are first-generation students whose parents do not have bachelor’s degrees, while many others continue a proud family legacy of being second- or third-generation Bulldogs.

The following areas are the top five majors of students in the 2025 graduating class:

• Psychology (545).

• Liberal studies (429).

• Biology (197).

• Criminology-law enforcement (191).

• Kinesiology-exercise science (169).
