Fresno State is ranked the No. 2 university among all public and private schools nationwide in Washington Monthly’s new ranking of Best Colleges for your Tuition (and Tax) Dollars.
The Washington D.C.-based independent media organization has published its list of top schools since 2005, ranking colleges and universities based on their contribution to the public good in three categories: social mobility, research and promoting public service.
Amid federal policy changes and economic instability in higher education, along with public concerns over the value of a degree, Washington Monthly revised its rankings this year to provide a more clear picture of how colleges perform. That means focusing on access, affordability, outcomes and community and national service and separating research into its own category.
Fresno State ranks as No. 2 university nationally, and is joined in the top 30 by five Ivy League institutions, Stanford and MIT. Fresno State is the only Mountain West university ranked in the top 30, as well as the only top-30 university slated for the revamped Pac-12 Conference, which Fresno State will join in July 2026.
