Kriegbaum came to the school as administrative vice-president in 1984 and was named president in 1985. During his tenure, the school has undergone major expansion. US News and World Report has ranked Fresno Pacific's undergraduate program among the top 10 liberal arts colleges in its region. Enrollment has increased 60% to 1600 students, half in the liberal arts college and half in the graduate school. In addition, the Fresno Pacific School of Professional Studies has 12,000 enrollments annually in professional development courses, mostly for teachers and school administrators.
During the past 11 years, Fresno Pacific has also completed significant building projects on its 45-acre campus in Fresno, and a branch centre was recently opened in Bakersfield, Calif. Financially, the College has had operating surpluses for several years. A Fresno Pacific Foundation was formed and has grown to over $10 million in assets.
As well, a Fresno Pacific Service Corporation was formed to manage various community service programs, such as the Learning Edge for at-risk high school students, OASIS for dependent older students, and housing projects. The closely affiliated AIMS Education Foundation enrolls 14,000 elementary school teachers annually in courses designed to integrate math and science.
