Show Notes

Fresno States freshman retention rates have been on the rise for three consecutive years, with a record-breaking 94.7% of first-time freshmen returning for the spring 2026 semester. This success is attributed to the Bulldog Bound program, Launch Pad, and the Start Program, which provide support and resources for students. The universitys innovative advising, easier registration, and new student success initiatives have also contributed to the positive results. Transfer students are also staying, with a 95.7% retention rate, and total enrollment has reached its highest level since 2018. However, graduation rates still lag behind the California State University average, and officials emphasize the importance of maintaining this momentum to close the gap.
