Sacramento State, often called Sac State, is the sixth-largest campus within the California State University system. It serves over 31,000 students, including 28,000 undergraduates.
The school 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" several times, thanks to the 3,500 trees that cover the campus.
Sac State offers about 55 undergraduate majors within eight academic colleges. The most popular majors include business administration, criminal justice and corrections, and communication and media 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.
Despite its large size, the university keeps average class sizes to 32.
Sports aren't huge at Sac State, but the university offers 24 intramural sports leagues and tournaments. 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.
