Ready for What’s Next: Class of 2026 Enters a Strong Alumni Network

More than 1,600 undergraduate students and close to 200 graduate students joined the ranks of Nazarian College alumni this year. Across the university, about 11,900 students graduated this spring.

About 1,270 graduates from programs in accounting, business law, economics, financial analysis and planning, management, marketing, and systems and operations management participated in commencement ceremonies. Graduate students from the college’s four master’s degree programs—business administration, business analytics, accountancy and taxation—were recognized during the annual Graduate Hooding Ceremony.

In remarks to the graduating class, Dean Chandra Subramaniam noted that graduates now join a network of alumni who are making an impact across industries and communities throughout California and beyond.

“As you take this next step, I hope you also recognize the strength of the community you now represent,” he said.

The Class of 2026 joins a Nazarian College alumni network of more than 70,000 with a strong presence across business and industry. Nearly 30 Nazarian College graduates were named to the 2026 Los Angeles Business Journal’s Top 100 Accountants list, and more than one-quarter of managing partners at Los Angeles’ Top 100 accounting firms are Nazarian College alumni.

While many graduates entered the workforce following commencements, others are continuing their studies at Nazarian College, enrolling in one of its four master’s degree programs.
