Top Ranked Programs
Fresno Pacific University's program mix is anchored in Education, reflecting the university's identity as a faith-based, community-oriented institution serving the Central Valley. Across 23 programs, the university concentrates its degree output in fields that feed directly into regional labor markets — particularly teaching, social services, and health-adjacent roles. The three largest programs by graduate volume are Subject-Specific Teacher Education, Business Administration, and Human Development, Family Studies, and Related Services, together accounting for a substantial share of the institution's annual completers. The program with the strongest combination of scale and earnings is Business Administration, which anchors Fresno Pacific University's economic profile among its ranked programs. On the earnings side, the highest-earning programs include Business Administration, with graduates earning median earnings of $70,983 four years after enrollment, and Health Administration, where graduates earn $66,778 — fields that align with stable regional employer demand in healthcare and applied services. Azimuth ranks Business Administration #141 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, and Health Administration #50 for the same measure. The dominant program families — Education (29% of graduates), Business (19%), and Social Sciences (3%) — reflect a portfolio oriented toward local-labor pathways rather than high-mobility national careers. Many graduates enter fields like teaching, counseling, and community health, where four-year earnings are moderate but job stability and regional demand are consistent. The [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) provides context for how these program families align with broader labor-market trends.
