To date more than 130,000 students have graduated, with approximately 4,500 graduating each year in the past few years. Eighty percent of the graduates remain in California and half live in the greater Sacramento region. The majority of classes have fewer than 50 students and are taught by the professor. Adequate classes and course sections are provided so that diligent students will be able to graduate easily within four years. Those who work and may only take classes during set times will need longer to graduate.
Students also have the opportunity for a strong and eventful campus life.
More than half of the students participate in one or more than 300 clubs and associations. These include almost every academic interest, from math to languages. There are many career-oriented groups and, for students interested in the Greek system, there are 18 sororities and 20 fraternities affiliated with the University. In addition, the Division I sports program offers intercollegiate competition. Facilities More than 3,000 trees offer the backdrop for the bustling campus environment, where new buildings and campus expansion have been underway in recent years.
