Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education has once again named California State University, Sacramento one of the nation’s top universities for granting degrees to Hispanic students.

CSUS was ranked 32nd nationally for awarding bachelor’s degrees and 59th nationally for master’s degrees. The publication used statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics.
