CSU Sacramento (Sacramento State)

At Sacramento State, “leadership begins here” is more than a slogan. They offer students life-changing opportunities to become leaders in their communities–opportunities to learn from great teachers, opportunities for one-of-a-kind internships and research experiences. And, through their location in the heart of California’s Capital City, opportunities to make a difference through public service.

Sac State has a beautiful 300-acre campus, with lush landscaping and 3,000 trees. Miles of trails stretch along the nearby American River Parkway, linking the campus and student housing with recreational areas such as Folsom Lake and Old Sacramento.

Sacramento State remains one of the nation’s best higher education values, with student fees among the lowest in the nation. About half of the students receive some form of financial assistance.
