The Princeton Review named Fresno State’s Craig School of Business to its 2026 list of the top 50 graduate schools in the country for entrepreneurship studies, ranking the program No. 9 in the West.
The ranking, based on a survey of nearly 300 schools offering entrepreneurship courses, appears in the November-December issue of Entrepreneur magazine.
Ranking No. 49 in the nation, Fresno State is one of just six California campuses and only two California State University campuses in the top 50, along with UCLA, UC San Diego, Santa Clara, CSU San Bernardino and University of San Francisco.
“We are extremely proud of this recognition of the excellence of our MBA program and our commitment to entrepreneurial education,” said Dr. Julie B. Olson-Buchanan, dean of the Craig School of Business. “Our goal at the Craig School is to both provide high-quality education and promote the economic development of Central California. By equipping our students with the skills and experience to pursue their dreams and start new businesses, we are contributing to the greater prosperity of our region.”
The Fresno State MBA program is regularly rated one of the top graduate business schools in the nation. The Princeton Review previously listed Fresno State as a top entrepreneurship school in 2023 and as a best business school in 2009, 2012, 2019, 2024 and 2025.
