CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SACRAMENTO
California State University, Sacramento
California State University, Sacramento offers life-changing possibilities for our students, preparing them to be leaders in their careers and communities. Our professors are known for their dedication to great teaching, and smaller class sizes allow for personalized attention, as well as extensive research opportunities. Sacramento State's location in California’s capital city also provides access to internships and public service with some of the nation's most tremendous opportunities for internships and public service with some of the nation's most influential public and private institutions.
A vibrant, metropolitan university, Sacramento State enrolls a multicultural student body and graduates about 6,000 students each year. The University has an annual economic impact on the region of nearly $816 million and more than $1 billion on the statewide economy.
Sacramento State remains one of the nation’s best higher education values, with student fees among the lowest in the nation. About half of our students receive some form of financial assistance.
Our students choose from numerous fields of study. We offer a strong and diverse academic curriculum that includes 60 undergraduate programs and 40 graduate programs, as well as two doctorates. In addition, numerous offerings, such as the Honors Program, help students pursue excellence, meet others with similar interests and develop strong ties with professors. Among our programs linked to state government is the nationally renowned Capital Fellows Program, in which graduate students work as full-time staff in the legislative, executive, or judicial branch.
Preparing for a career is a vital part of a Sacramento State education. We have one of the largest cooperative education programs in California, placing students in paid positions where they receive academic credit. Hundreds of other students participate in internships in business and government. One third of Sacramento State students work as volunteers – many through a service learning project in class gaining valuable work experience while helping their community. Our Career Center helps students with finding a career interest and performing job searches through its job database and the Center sponsors an on-campus recruiting program.
Outside the classroom, Sacramento State students lead active lives. Campus-sponsored arts programs, speeches, debates, comedy shows, and concerts enrich the community throughout the year, and there are abundant cultural and entertainment options in the surrounding area. More than half the University’s students join at least one of 250 student organizations, and thousands participate in the intramural sports program. About 400 intercollegiate athletes compete at the Division I level.
We’re particularly proud of our beautiful 300-acre campus, with its lush landscaping and more than 3,000 trees. Sacramento State also has recently completed the two greenest buildings in the history of the University. The American River Courtyard is a suite-style residence hall on campus that offers amenities such as private bedrooms, kitchenettes, and in-suite bathrooms for students. The WELL, the recreation and wellness center, combines gym space, fitness equipment, medical facilities, an indoor track, and a large rock-climbing wall. Both of these are LEED Gold certified for their energy-saving and sustainability features.
Miles of riverfront trails for runners and bicyclists stretch along the adjacent American River Parkway, linking our campus and student housing with recreational areas such as Folsom Lake and Old Sacramento.
Other popular attractions include the State Capitol building, the State Railroad Museum, and the Crocker Art Museum.
