Sacramento State offers a rich academic program that includes extensive internship opportunities for students interested in pursuing a career in public service. Our classes are small and are taught by professors who've completed the highest levels of education in their academic fields.
Sacramento State students enjoy personal attention from teacher-scholars who have made superior teaching a top priority. Our student-to-faculty ratio is 21 to 1, and our class size averages fewer than 30 students. We offer 60 undergraduate degrees and 40 graduate degrees, as well as two joint doctorates. Our larger programs include teacher education, business, computer technology, criminal justice, psychology and communication studies. And we have a new general education honors program for highly motivated students.
Among our programs linked to state government is the highly competitive Capital Fellows Program, in which graduate students work as full-time staff in state government.
Preparing for a career is a vital part of a Sacramento State education. We have one of the largest cooperative education program in California, placing students in paid positions where they receive academic credit. Hundreds of other students participate in business- and government-related internships. One in three Sacramento State students work as volunteers—many through a service learning project in class. Our Career Center helps students both with finding a career interest and with job searches, providing job databases and sponsoring an on-campus recruiting program.
