Contract Management Certificate Program

Rebecca Losasso, Contract Management Certificate Program, Graduate

“I chose the Contract Management certificate program at the College of Continuing Education because of the reputation of Sacramento State as well as the reasonable cost. I appreciate that there are programs outside of traditional degree programs to further my education. A highlight of my experience included learning from other classmates who are currently in the industry; they provided real world applicability to the fundamentals that were taught. All of the instructors were engaging and supportive. Everyone through the process was supportive and responsive.”

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.”
