After a national search, Dr. Scott Moore has been selected as permanent dean of Continuing and Global Education.

A longtime professor and administrator, Dr. Moore has served as interim dean of the Division of Continuing and Global Education at Fresno State for the past four years, working to provide students and community members with international education programs, extended education and professional development courses.

"I look forward to his advancing the University mission to boldly educate and empower our students for success," said Robert Harper, interim provost.

While serving as interim dean, Dr. Moore secured institutional approval for multiple self-supporting certificates and degrees. He applied to establish the University’s first fully-online degree completion program for a bachelor’s in liberal arts.

“Together we have made thousands of educational opportunities for students in our Central Valley,” Dr. Moore said. “I’m looking forward to many thousand more.”

A first-generation college student, Dr. Moore joined Fresno State in 1997 as an assistant professor of communication; he later served as interim chair of the Philosophy Department. He has served as the interim executive director of the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and associate dean of Continuing and Global Education.

Dr. Moore holds a bachelor’s degree from Austin College and a master’s and doctorate from the University of Oklahoma.
