The Craig School of Business (CSB) empowers future business leaders by helping young professionals embark on successful careers in business and economics. With approximately 3,000 majors, we offer Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration (with 13 different options). Economics, Fashion Merchandising, and both a traditional and executive MBA. The CSB is the first CSU business school to receive a named endowment, a ten million dollar pledge from Sid and Jenny Craig, and the first in the CSU to be accredited by AACSB International in 1959. Our priority for engaged learning experiences is addressed through internships, mentorships, applied projects, service learning, professional events, an international program and a highly involved regional business community.

Mission

To prepare a diverse student population for careers in the regional, national, and global business environments, and to serve the Central California business community as a resource center.

Accreditation

The B.S. in Business Administration has been continuously accredited since 1959 by the premiere accrediting agency, AACSB - International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The B.S. was the third accredited business program in California, following UC Berkeley and UCLA and is one of only 551 accredited business programs in the U.S. The Craig M.B.A. was accredited in 1974.

Advising

The Craig School of Business Advising Center is located in Peters Building, Room 185. Business students are encouraged to have annual advising sessions to assist in evaluations and graduation requirements.

A mentoring program matches students with a faculty member in their field who will assist with career or graduate study information.
