California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State) is a regional comprehensive institution in California’s capital city. Sacramento State offers a vibrant academic culture with an increasingly multicultural student body of 28,000, graduating about 6,000 students each year. Despite its size, quality teaching in small classes remains a top priority. Students enjoy personalized attention from their professors with a student-faculty ratio of 21 to 1. The focus is on quality teaching and scholarly activity that informs good teaching, both of which emerge from staying current and connected in one’s field.  Sacramento State faculty are conducting research to add to their disciplinary bodies of knowledge, and engaging students at all levels in opportunities to apply innovative approaches to solving critical regional problems.
