11 Best Mba Programs In Fresno, CA (2022 Updated)

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

I am currently enrolled in the EMT program at National University, Fresno. I am thoroughly enjoying it. The instructors are very knowledgeable in the field, have tons of field experience, and are competent to teach. The only reason I didn't rate it fulls stars, is because this is the first time these instructors have not worked together. They are not all on the same page. and I feel like they could prepare a little more for their lectures. This however will improve(they have already improved) as this Fresno program continues. I am learning tons, and feel like I will be able to pass the class.Joel Michael Moutray

EMT program is amazing. It is organized, comprehensive, straight-forward, challenging, fun, and some. Coming in as a Registered Nurse, I was able to listen to other view points and learn different techniques. I feel is very valuable. The information taught was explained clearly and thoroughly, and time was taken for others until understood. We all learned as a team and grew together as a class. Our instructors helped build our confidence while also improving our leadership skills in command presence. I appreciate them, and I suggest this course to others. Worth it.R N

As a former graduate of NU Fresno Campus (2002) BS IT, I decided to attend an orientation for the EMT Program based on a notification. I was considering a career change and I definitely do not regret committing to this program. The instructors are all seasoned Paramedic Professionals and there is a lot of attention to hands on skills based learning. I will be going on my first ride along to experience an actual shift of EMT work. I recommend this program if you are interested in committing to a thorough and fast paced team oriented learning style.Laural Fawcett

I have cancer and come to the university medical infusion center, I always make my appointments on time or am earlier but they never get me in for at least 15 to 30 minutes, while in the back it takes another 30 minutes to an hour before I get my meds to get started. I don't understand why it takes so long. 1.5 hours to 2 hours before I get started.Mike Padilla

They always mess up my medication and appointments. They don’t communicate with insurance companies and customers service is very poor, they act like they are doing you a favor.Enrique Serrato

When is Fresno going to have its own UC campus? It’s about time we build one. UCSF of Fresno? What the heck is that?S C

School staff is very nice but school is extremely unorganized. Everytime I called for assistance about admissions or registration I was given contradictory information. After finally being able to register for classes we were then given a wrong list of books to purchase for the classes (this happened 2 semesters in a row). All we got was an apology and given the correct book list to purchase the correct books.When I tried to book appointment my "advisor" was out on leave for 3 weeks. Hopefully they will get it together soon. Their mistakes kept costing me time and money and the only thing I got was an an apology but never a resolution.AMZN SEA

I got my undergrad here and to sugar coat it, I was not pleased at my experience here. There are always pros and cons to any university and this university was just not a good fit for me. There is a lot of disorganization and some internal conflicts. Just make sure you check out every opportunity and ask good questions before you make a big commitment. FPU does have some great professors. The business professors and bib.lit professors are nice and very personable! It was beneficial having my professors know me by name and to be able to have conversations with them outside of class.Kellie Borges

In the process of getting my undergraduate degree and this school has easy parking, teachers that are accessible, friendly people on campus, an area for commuters to rest/lounge, and fun community events. It provides a slower paced experience, positive atmosphere, and strengthens your religious beliefs as well as challenging them. I was impressed by how much I learned in non religious aspects as my field is psychology and I feel confident graduating here knowing I got the best college experience.Sar Nez

I came to this school and it is constantly changing. Especially with the pandemic slowly bringing things back. They are remodeling plenty and the campus is beautiful and very spread out. You can enjoy the little critters and plenty of flowers and trees to stare at. This school has plenty of history and beautiful views. Wether you came to this school or want to come to this school, it is definitely in a great centralized location with plenty of amenities both on and off campus. Bulldog born, Bulldog bread 🐾Felipe

I had an excellent experience as an undergraduate at Fresno State. I was an agriculture-based major, and had several invaluable opportunities for hands-on experience provided for me during my time at the university. Like most things, I could go through and nitpick every issue I had, but my overall reflection on the university is positive, so I'll abstain. The short of it is: if Fresno State has your desired major, it is a school well worth considering.Collin Parker

It was very nice. But I think the parking lot should be bigger. But we all had a great time we got chance to see my nephew don't play that bad I had an accident after you again or I'm someone hit my car from behind but other than that it was a great time don't have heads just everything is coolFrances

I am the parent of a UHS student. I am deeply concerned with the quality of the education my student in receiving. I have contacted the school several times over the course of the year and been given the standard, "You have made the right choice sending your child here" line each time. Frankly, I am at my wit's end with the administration and staff. Here is the reality: 1. The school has no infrastructure in place for students that are struggling with the course work, specifically Musicianship and Physics. Latin has tutoring, but it is insufficient in many cases. The response from the school is that a student can work with their peers. The issue there is that their peers are overworked and juggling impossible schedules. We hired tutors ( expensive on top of the $700/yr tuition) in multiple subjects, but have found that the classroom teaching is so far off book that our tutors cannot help. In Physics, we were told that there would be tutoring, but it has been cancelled more often than not. 2. We were told during the mandatory information sessions (which I recorded) that the students could utilize the Fresno State tutoring if they needed help. This is not true. Fresno State's tutoring is only available if the student is enrolled in a corresponding Fresno State Class. There is no recourse for help other than paying for outside tutoring in many of the subjects. 3. The work load is excessive. The students do on average 3-4 hours of homework per night. Bear in mind that there are many nights where the work requirement is 5+ additional hours outside of school. This is not my child procrastinating on projects- this is the reality of UHS and when it is questioned, the standard response of, "You have made the right choice sending your child here" is applied. We just received the 'summer homework' packets from several of my student's teachers. The required Latin II class has scheduled 20 + quizzes over the summer- if these are not completed with a minimum of 85% on the first day, the student starts the year with a zero. Firstly, students need a break from homework and school. This is not opinion- this is based off numerous studies performed by researchers around the globe. The Journal of Experimental Education published a study in 2013 suggests, "Students who did more hours of homework experienced greater behavioral engagement in school but also more academic stress, physical health problems, and lack of balance in their lives." The American Psychological Society published 'Adolescents’ Homework Performance in Mathematics and Science: Personal Factors and Teaching Practices,' the findings of which concluded that "The optimum duration of homework was found to be 1 hr a day. " Secondly- who teaches them the course material over the summer? In the Latin II info packet, the students are told it's highly recommended that they purchase a textbook and watch 5 videos to "…reteach core concepts from Latin I. " Other fun quotes include, "Students need to take ownership of their education and use these review tools in order to better understand Latin." Should my child struggle with this material over the summer- how will my child be helped? Who takes the ownership of educating these kids? This was not revealed to the parents of prospective students. I never agreed for my child to be teaching herself Latin/Math/English over the summer. Summer reading is fine. Some review is fair- whole course work? This is an extraordinary amount of work with no recourse if the student's struggle with the information. 4. The quality of the music courses is low. If the students has advanced knowledge of music, they will find the Musicianship class comprehensible. If your student (like my child) comes with the UHS basic requirements of 2 years of music- they will be left behind. The students are NOT taught to read music. They are not given any kind of lessons in their instrument- this is a school where music is on the syllabus, but not applied to the other curriculum which is at odds with how the administration sells their programming.Eliza King

I think that all of the negative reviews of this school are outdated and unfair. We are one of the most accepting environments in Fresno, where students of all sexualities and gender identities are encouraged to be themselves. We have an active Gender and Sexual Diversity club, which I am a part of. Our dress code is one of the most lax, and it is in no way gender biased. Nor is our school in any way conservative or Christian. We do have a LIFE club, and that's about it. Differences are treasured here, and I've had many of my not-so-academic friends tell me that they only stay at UHS because of the supporting environment. I'd like to clarify that in no way is there any tuition required to attend University, instead the administration simply requests for a substantial donation at the beginning of the year, in lieu of sending home endless cookie dough and magazine sales. The donation is 100% optional. This school is hard. There's no denying that. But there are places to go to get help: we have excellent student counselors, our Latin tutoring program has become much more efficient and available to students. As for the music issue, this school is not a place to learn to read music. There is a prerequisite, that students have had two years of playing an instrument and, therefore, it is assumed that they do not need to learn their instrument or how to read music. And our Musicianship I and II teacher, Dr. Jones, understands how new these concepts can still be to people. He has no set due date on assignments, allows all notes on any test, gives many extra credit opportunities, starts from the very beginning of music theory, and is always there to help. He was awarded Educator of the Week by KSEE24 for goodness sakes. The claim about no drama or choir as an outlet is baseless. We are required to have at least one performing group and that can certainly be choir. Additionally, we have two productions a semester, and, while there is certainly a higher level of dramatic performance, freshmen have been cast in leading roles multiple times. All of our teachers are professional, dedicated, and certainly not disheveled in any way. And our administration is anything but unresponsive. As I mentioned before, our student counselors are excellent and should be able to help with any concerns. Take it from a student, who has lived in this environment for 2.5 years. Your child can't live as a perfect little angel forever. They're gonna learn that there are other good kids in this world eventually. They can learn that now, or they can learn that when you send them off to college. Trust me. You want them to learn it here, at a place where they'll be respected, supported, and pushed to become even better. This place takes work, but it's worth it.JJ Sutton

Mixed feelings, (see update) Definitely prepared my child for a challenging future! The words straight out of my childs mouth were, "When you go to school here it's like everything you were ever told you were good at your whole life was just b******t and everything you've loved and worked hard for you'll never accomplish because you're really just not good enough." this scares me so bad. They place way too much stress on the students and don't give enough chances for redemption through extracurriculars like drama and choir. Before high school my daughter had leading roles with large monologues in performances in drama and was involved in music and loved it. Within the first year she dreaded going to school everyday. I worry about other children there as well and the possibility of the suicide rate going up due to the stress they put on the children for their academic performance. If your child is as gifted as mine, they can handle the stress and disappointment. It will pay off in the future. My child is handled it okay but had to seek counseling at times. The school had caused a lot of heartache for her but she's strong. I just worry about other children. So if you just want to stress your child out during the hardest time of their life then this is the school for you. Updated; Now she is going to college and she said she can't believe she hated herself for the past 4 years only to be this blessed as she pointed to her transcripts which shows her entering college with 48 units. She was thrilled. Most of her required courses are out of the way and she can focus on her major. That puts her way ahead of the other students. She also tells me how much easier it is in comparison to University High School. The Washington Post was not kidding when they said University High School was the most challenging School in the nation. I'm just glad that she realized what a blessing it was and that all her hard work and perseverance has paid off. In the 4 years at UHS she never had the opportunity to showcase her talents but is doing awesome at CSUMB, is now a paid intern for the program she's majoring in, is working at the Apple store and had a great part in Grease last spring! I am very proud of the independent young adult my daughter has become and I'm sure UHS played a big role in that!Julianna Pehrson

I currently attend this school and I’ve had nothing but positive things happen to me. I have one teacher (Shout out to Mr. Tostado aka Mr. T) who has been incredible and I know have him for the 3rd semester in a row. I have two more semesters before I graduate and I’m so excited to be the first one in my family to graduate college. So I think a lot of the reviews are just from disgruntled students who didn’t have a good experience. Everyone’s experiences are different. I love this school and couldn’t imagine going somewhere different.Chelsey Hayes

Out of all the community colleges that I've been too. Don't waste your time here. You're better going to Reedley or Fresno city. The front desk staff is very rude whether they're directing your call or answering your questions. Admissions and Records staff give yes and no answers when it comes to questions. They don't take the time to explain to students the reasoning behind anticancer forms. You're better off driving farther to actually be treated like a human being than going to this community college because it is closer.Amy Keovilai

I completed my associate's degree here, with other previous classes at Fresno City. I had a wonderful experience at Clovis. The lowest level of education from instructors was masters degree, the rest were either PHD or MD. All professors were great and willing to do whatever it takes to get you to be successful in their classes. But, this is college so they will not just hand you the answers and pass you, you must do the work.tim lane

Phillip J. Patiño of Entrepreneurship is a definite education changer. Instead of sitting in class listening to lectures or taking notes out of a book, we do projects that help us to self-teach ourselves. This independence is needed because next year we'll be creating a company and we won't have teachers to hold our hands. Overall this school has helped turned me from an introvert into an extrovert. I now am able to comfortably pitch in front of others, am a strong team leader, able to transition from working independent to working as a team, and this school has truly changed my mindset. I have come from being someone who always thought negatively and thinking that I can't accomplish certain tasks to realize that the only one holding me back is myself and there is no such thing as impossible. Now I am determined to succeed and will strive towards it no matter how many defeats come my way. So I'd just like to thank this school for the amazing and life changing opportunities.Life Dreamerxx

The food here is average. It has little flavor and the staff won't provide outstanding service unless you get your nose a little brown.Lillian Simmons

Should not hire professors who expect you to turn in Ivy League quality work. While they sit behind a computer screen not teaching you. Professor Cheryl Porter is not on Rate My Professor. Avoid taking her class if you can. She is very negative and unreasonable. The other professors are kind, reasonable and helpful. If she wants superior work, she should teach at that level on campus.L S
