California State University-Sacramento

California State University, Sacramento, also known as Sacramento "Sac" State, is located on a beautiful 300-acre campus nestled just outside of California's capital. The Arbor Day Foundation has named it "Tree Campus USA" for several consecutive years, thanks to the 3,500 trees that cover the campus. Sac State offers 58 undergraduate majors within eight academic colleges. The most popular majors at Sac State are business, communications, and criminal justice and safety studies. The college's criminal justice program is one of the largest in the nation, and often receives more applications than it can accept, making it a competitive major. The university has a fairly high admissions rate, accepting about 68% of applicants. The graduation rate of 51% is on par with the national average, and graduates can expect an average early career salary of $52,100, according to PayScale data. Sports aren't huge at Sac State, but the university offers 18 intercollegiate sports teams. Although it is a comparatively "young" campus -- it was founded in 1947 -- Sac State is rumored to have a haunted theater hall where a friendly spirit regularly disrupts play openings.
