Washington Monthly has published its list of top schools for the past 19 years with what it calls "a different kind of college ranking." See where Fresno State ranks.
Fresno State improved its rankings among the best national colleges and universities, rising to No. 26 in Washington Monthly’s 2023 annual list of top universities, compared to No. 36 the previous year.
The university also ranked No. 13 in the Best Bang for the Buck: West category, improving from No. 22 last year, for how well it helps non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices. About 65% of Fresno State students are the first in their families to attend college.
In a sampling of 100 universities, Fresno State ranked No. 18 in the category of "Which College Boards Look Like Their Students?"
The rankings, published Aug. 28, come a week after Fresno State announced a new five-year strategic plan to lead the university in deepening its impact in the region. With a refreshed mission to empower students for success through a transformative education rooted in active service with diverse communities, Fresno State continues to earn national recognition in the areas of social mobility, research and civic engagement.
"This ranking shows our university’s heartfelt commitment to empower our talented students to achieve success, while making a difference in the region and beyond," said Fresno State President Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval. "I am extremely proud of the work we have done and look forward to building on this achievement to create a Valley of opportunity for all. This is precisely the type of good news that elevates our brand to national and international levels."
