Sacramento
State students who live in Placer County will soon be able to take four classes
close to home at the Sierra College Roseville Gateway Center. The new offerings
begin this fall.
The classes, offered in
conjunction with Sierra College, include Business Finance, Business Communications,
Management of Contemporary Organizations and Multicultural America. A recent
survey of 4,600 Sacramento State students in Placer County determined that these
courses are in high demand.
The Gateway campus is located
off Douglas Road with easy access from Interstate 80. Courses provided at the
Gateway campus will offer a respite from the heavy commute traffic Placer County
students often face coming into Sacramento.
The new classes continue
Sacramento State’s efforts to provide higher education opportunities to
Placer County residents. The first class of Sacramento State’s MBA for
executives program, for example, has been held at PRIDE Industries in Roseville
for the past year. The courses, offered Friday evenings and Saturdays to accommodate
working professionals, are being taught by professors from the University’s
College of Business Administration as well as area executives and professionals.
Students complete the coursework for the degree in 15 months.
The Gateway Center
is also home to Sacramento State’s College of Continuing Education’s
programs for bachelor’s degrees in Organization Communications and Arts
and Humanities, as well as upper-division General Education courses. They provide
students with the opportunity for career advancement in a variety of fields.
