Sharon Velarde Pierce, an associate professor of public administration and CSUSB alumna, was honored for her expertise in advising, authentic care for student success, a heartfelt passion for the profession, and her enduring commitment to teaching and mentoring students.
CSUSB’s online MBA and criminal justice programs continue to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report’s rankings, which are considered one of the most influential recognitions for colleges and universities.
Cal State San Bernardino is the only California State University campus recognized in the rankings, and one of only five universities in California to make the list.
JHBC Dean Tomás Gomez-Arias said, “It’s important to expose our pack to experiential opportunities like these to help expand our network, gain insight from industry leaders and stay abreast of industry trends.”
To determine the rankings, Online MBA Report evaluated more than 400 U.S.-based online MBA programs, and listed CSUSB at No. 6. in California.
The Stater Bros. Market completion program will create a pathway for the grocery chain to provide a significant opportunity for its employees to earn an online bachelor of arts degree in administration.
Tomás Gómez-Arias said he will work to ensure the success of new programs and continuing to develop JHBC’s portfolio of offerings.
