Student Testimonial: Karen Ross

“This was my first experience with college level courses in many years. I was very impressed with the quality of Sacramento State’s CCE program. From the research stage where I interacted with Amberly Macias to the quality of the professors, the experience was exceptional.

I went into the program knowing the basics of Human Resources and have completed the program feeling I am a valuable asset in Human Resources to an organization. Each professor has a successful career in Human Resources and was proficient in the topic they taught with real experience. Besides receiving valuable information, the course assignments stretched my abilities. I did my first power point presentation for one course, and did my first video for a different course. All of the professors were phenomenal and each inspired me some way.”
