Working for CSU

Sacramento State, affectionately called Sac State, is an outstanding comprehensive university within the 23 campus California State University system. Classrooms, labs, offices, and other facilities are nestled in a 3,500-tree urban forest alongside the American River. Sacramento is the state capital of California and is one of the most diverse cities in the nation.

Sacramento, the Capital of California

Sacramento is considered one of the most ethnically diverse and livable cities in the country, with a population of 480,000. More than 1.4 million people live in Sacramento county. The region's mild
Mediterranean climate produces hot summer days and cool nighttime Delta breezes. Winters are chilly
and sometimes cloaked in the Central Valley's famed tule fog. There's always something to do in
Sacramento!
