The graduate program in the
Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno is once
again among the best schools in the country, according to The Princeton
Review.
The New York-based education
services company features the school in the just-published 2009 edition
of its “Best 296 Business Schools.” The “best” designation is based on
surveys in 2005-2008 of students who attend schools with accredited
Master of Business Administration programs.
The Craig School was
commended for solid preparation in general management, teamwork,
communication/interpersonal skills, presentation skills and
entrepreneurial studies.
MBA students wrote that they appreciate the fact that the Craig School
“has made a point to invest itself into the community for the sake of
the community, as well as for the sake of the students. Fresno State
feels like a hub of the community, and it’s exciting to be affiliated
with it.”
They also said professors
here “are typically passionate about their subject matter, which leads
to interesting classes.”
“We are proud of our Graduate Business Programs and that for the second
year in a row we have received this honor,” said Tom Burns, manager of
the programs in the Craig School of Business. “The fact that the award
is primarily based on the students’ input makes it even more rewarding.
Their comments about community contribution and the importance of our
graduate programs to the community demonstrate we are fulfilling the
mission of the school,” Burns said.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review VP-Publishing, "We select
schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic
programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools
and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report
on their campus experiences at the schools. We are pleased to recommend
The Craig School at Fresno State to readers of our book and users of our
Web site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an
MBA."
“Best 296 Business Schools” (Random House / Princeton Review, Oct. 7,
2008, $22.95) has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on
their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their
academics, selectivity and career placement services.
The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in the book on a single
hierarchical list or name one business school best overall. The company
is not affiliated with Princeton University and it is not a magazine.
