Craig School of Business among ‘best’ in nation according to The Princeton Review

The Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno is rated an outstanding business school that is among the best in the country, according to The Princeton Review, which surveys programs annually.

The New York-based education services company selected the school for inclusion in the 2007 edition of its book, “Best 282 Business Schools” (Random House / Princeton Review Books), available in bookstores in October.

The Craig School of Business is one of 45 schools that The Princeton Review is adding to its annual "best business schools" guide this year. Singled out by the publication is the Craig graduate program, which includes the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Business Administration for Executives (EMBA) and Master of Science in Accountancy.

According to Robert Franek, VP/publisher of Princeton Review, "We select schools for this book based on several criteria covering three areas: our regard for their academic programs and other offerings, institutional data we collect about them and opinions of students attending the schools. We highly commend it to readers of the book and users of our Web site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA."

Dr. Douglas Hensler, dean of the Craig School, said, “This is a very high accolade, indeed.  Recognition of the Craig School of Business as one of the best business schools in the U.S. is reflective of the hard work of our faculty and staff, of the work ethic and the dedication of our very bright students, of the extraordinary commitment by our supremely supportive business community, and of a university administration dedicated to engagement with and the economic development of our region,” he said.

“Best 282 Business Schools” 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. 

“Best 282 Business Schools” is one of more than 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House.  The company is not affiliated with Princeton University.
