20 Best Mba Programs In Sacramento, CA (2022 Updated)

If you're looking for a school where your professors take personal interest in each student's well-being, this is the place to be. They will come along side you and help you develop, and reach your goals. Living on campus is awesome! It takes a little while to get used to the small campus mentality that becomes like a family… with all its ups and downs, but it's totally worth it if you're willing to take advantage of the support your peers can offer you.Laurence Lawrence

The Zest for life retreat. While doing my early morning walk and devotion; i was able to capture a few moments in time of our heavenly father's creation and beauty that has been left for all of us l to enjoy. So peaceful, among a lot of kind hearted teachers, speakers and members. Thank you Garden St. Corp. Major wong, Major Lori & Sr. FlowersEVA HARDY

My 3 years at this school have been a wonderful experience. Teachers truly care, students are loving, and there is a strong desire for community. I would recommend it to anyone looking to grow in Christ along with their God given gifts.Jacob Langstaff

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

I moved to California when I was 16 years old I met a lady called Joey that worked for Mcgeorge School of Law. She was the sweetest and really took care of me. Blake the lawyer assisted with my case. They had me meet with them several different occasions to bring in documents( a lot of documentation). We filed my case finally 6 years ago. They were able to get all fees waived and it was a lot. It was truly an amazing experience. I just recently received a call from Blake i now have a workers permit to work in the USA. Sooo grateful. I highly recommend Mcgeorge School of Law. They make you feel comfortable and they get just as excited as you when the paperwork comes through. Love love love them.Tracy

UOP'S Sacramento campus has more than just McGeorge, including many of the new school of health science programs, but the historic law school is the heart of it. Charming brick architecture and a close-knit feel isolated from the surrounding neighborhood.Amaranthine Witch

Attended a day-long seminar on California water. The lecture hall was clean, had buckets of sanitizing wipes available, clear restrooms and chargers available at the desks.C.S. Engeron

This is regarding the Full-Time MBA Program: pretty solid education with some very bright students along with some exceptional faculty and staff. Unfortunately, lackluster support for career switchers unless you want to work in Finance for Intel (the NAND division is now Solidigm under SK Hynix) or a big healthcare provider in the Sac area. I still remember GSM's Dean telling some students during a school event that he believed GSM's cohorts are just as smart as those at Haas. Now no one goes to GSM expecting it to measure up to Haas, but the stark reality is that if Haas's career services/employer connections represent the top floor of a 50-story building, GSM's career services operation cannot even get into the 1st floor lobby or parking garage. It's also my belief the Full-Time Program is not a priority for GSM, and functions more as the foundation for their more viable Part-Time and Online MBA Programs that utilize the same personnel/ resources yet place far less emphasis on career services/ placement. There's a lot of potential here for the Full-Time MBA Program – only time will tell if GSM is able to realize it.Trevor Gould

The first truly contributes to a well-rounded education. The academics are certainly great, but I've learned far more from my peers and their experiences than I have from the classroom. Davis has done a great job of managing to create cohorts that are both diverse (from educational background, to life experience, to race & gender) and cohesive. The second definitely is the Sacramento & Bay location. While the school is often overlooked by close neighbors Stanford & UC Berkeley, Davis certainly has an "in" with Bay Area companies. The Sacramento location also benefits from being located at the UCD Medical Center (healthcare) and Sacramento (government) in general. We get the perks of being relatively close to the Bay but also the perks of being located directly in the State Capital.Jefri Tamba

Devry is a corporation not a school. It's all about numbers for them. I was an ITT tech student when they closed I was left with little to go on as far continuing my education. My program was electrical engineering. First impressions are everything. Student advisors were super helpful and friendly. Which is why I am giving them 2 stars. The most important thing is professors who know how to teach, break things down for students, knowledge of what they are teaching, and most importantly not turn away students when they ask for help. I had one physical teacher for my electronics classes who was more intrested in his own goals rather than teaching. He turned away students from help, when asked questions he would say "please refer to previous class" or "that's a question for the next class". This person literally has destroyed students potential careers. Devry has a very incompetent support structure. Eveything from the Dean's to student surveys to program specific Dean's. This teacher was reported in every class for two and half years, nothing was ever done. A large majority of the classes are all online. Most of which have professors that don't really care and there is so little contact with professors it's sad really. When you need help they turn to tutors which again is very underwhelming. You have to schedule an appointment which could be in 2 to 5 days which will be putting you behind aswell. If anyone as any questions about anything please feel free to contact me 🙂Ryan Wells

The student support advisors I'm working with are trying to be supportive and helpful. The reason I'm giving 2 star is, I had a Cisco class on this campus with a remarkable instructor who I would remember forever and I'll always appreciate him for everything he has done for his student. Unfortunately, I only had one class with him if you are going to register at this campus remember name Abdelaziz Kaina. But, followings are reasons for why I don't give them more starts. 1. They don't have a reliable schedule for the classes; I had this experience many times that I register for a class for example on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, and a week before the first session, they changed it to Thursday 5:30 PM. 2. In a simple word, course evaluation doesn't effect on anything. Siriusly I prefer to take an online class rather than spend my time to go to the class and learning nothing, just listening to the instructor reading from a powerpoint file, which I can do quickly by my self at home anytime I want.Ali Aslan

MUST READ…..As a working mom, who works full time, I thought this "School" would be great for me. When I first talked with the sales guy, he said all my classes would be covered with my financial aid and grants. To my surprise, the tuition for each block was over 4k!!! 4K!! This "school" is soo expensive. If you are looking for an online school, please do more research. After numerous holds on my account, I did some research and found out Colorado State offers an online program. I switched to Colorado State…ranked #7 for online schools, the school is better, and the tuition is more than half the cost for each block. ***DO YOUR RESEARCH, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY*** But on a good note, the teachers are wonderful. I liked all my professors.May See Yang

I graduated here in 2011. Now 11 years later I still have mixed feelings. You should go to this school only if you absolutely must stay in Sacramento. If you’re recruited from another country for a sport, please note that Sacramento is the capitol of California but it’s 8 hours driving from Hollywood and nothing like the movies. Many of my tennis teammates came from Eastern Europe and said they had no clue, they thought they were coming to do college at the beach and hang out with celebrities. Pros +: Air Force ROTC Program Women’s D1 Tennis Very pretty campus in Fall People were genuinely nice The saaaandwich and soda man Acceptance rate was very high then Gave me the degree and future I needed Cons -: Was very much commuter school Most friends you make here won’t go very far Dating was limited (for straight women) most boys I met were just players that lied No one outside of NorCal has heard of CSUS Parking was an issue Full time in state tuition for Spring 2008 was $1863. My last semester in Spring 2011 was $2500 for part time. Can’t imagine what it is now. Professors who write their own notes/book then sell it for their course for $200+ Some of the courses I had to take were not very useful I didn’t feel safe after or before dark on campus and nearby apartment parking lots that friends lived in. I used to run in the dark to/from my car.April B

One of the many, proud students who used to go to Sac State; graduated in the fall of 2019 (and luckily before Covid-19 told everyone to screw off). I was trying to get into Graphic Design but I had no money. So I opted instead for a BA in Studio Art Methods (New Media Focus). I was taking Multicultural Studies on the side. Everything is expensive, some of the faculty have personality issues, the few Alt-Right people kept "yelling theater in a crowded fire house;" the school's transit system doesn't go far enough, and some of the buildings had issues with rain water coming through the roofs. But I have no regrets. The area's beautiful, we're able to get help with food and studies, the learning of other cultures was "colorful" in a positive way, and most of the faculty are pretty awesome. It's not UC Davis, but I highly recommend taking your chances here.Hectotane

I went here on my Field Trip in my Sophomore year and I got to say I was speechless. I was amazed by the structure of the buildings, there was bunch of scholars/students of this University and it was so big that I didn't know what kind of reaction I made. It was fun walking around and seeing so many people. It feel kind of weird because I don't like to see so many people in one place. The cafeteria is pretty small. It crowded most of the time because I can't believe they even have fast food restaurants inside a cafeteria and also Starbucks. It feel like I can reach the top of the ceiling over my head if I was tall enough and be able to touch it. I enjoyed it and it was fantastic to experience a University college.Cheesy 24

The best part about Stanford is the culture and the people. The admissions process tries to weed out anybody that is arrogant or inwardly focused. The result is a culture that is non competitive and extremely supportive. For example, your classmates can bet the best source of career leads and information on new opportunities you are exploring. I have been blown away by how much people contribute to the community (planning events, etc.). The opportunities within tech and entrepreneurship are also incredible. With close access to VCs in the area, a number of students are involved with part-time internships or entrepreneur in residence programs. The on-campus resources for start-ups are also expansive. The school is very tech focused. While there is something for everyone here, it has been more tech centric than I expected.Jefri Tamba

If I was applying for an MBA, I would love to apply here. The campus is gorgeous. I took a continuing studies course here (Com 19), which is offered to their GSB students and loved it. The team who facilitated the course was wonderful and was focused on community building. I would encourage GSB students to take this in their first semester/quarter (whichever system that Stanford is on).Mary Kong

September. The rich orange light descends through, Leaves trending towards cardinal, Changing, Preparing to drift down, into slumber. The scent of the air, Autumn's chill, The harvest, And, What is this I invigorating scent? Ah, yes. This is the smell of living things, The vivifying aroma, The canal from the mind, The birth of new ideas.Philip “BiGPHiL” Bonnici

I had the best experience getting my degree at the Jessup online school. I love being able to work at my own pace to complete my degree. Instead of B.S. degree taking the 4 full years, I was able to complete in 3 years!Stephanie Lindsey

I was very impressed with my experience. Getting my bachelors degree was one of my goals I never thought I could achieve. Now, I have it and they helped me find a job immediately after!Liam Wilson

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis, UCD, or Davis) is a public research university and land-grant university located near Davis, California.[9] It is one of the ten campuses of the University of California system, and has the third-largest enrollment in the system after UCLA and UC Berkeley.[7] The institution was first founded as an agricultural branch of the system in 1905, and became the seventh campus of the University of California in 1959.The university is classified as an R1 university, meaning that it engages in a very high level of research activity.[10] The UC Davis faculty includes 23 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 30 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 17 members of the American Law Institute, 14 members of the Institute of Medicine, and 14 members of the National Academy of Engineering.[11] Among other honors, university faculty, alumni, and researchers have won two Nobel Prizes, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, three Pulitzer Prizes, three MacArthur Fellowships, and a National Medal of Science.[11][12][13][14] Founded as a primarily agricultural campus, the university has expanded over the past century to include graduate and professional programs in medicine (which includes the UC Davis Medical Center), law, veterinary medicine, education, nursing, and business management, in addition to 90 research programs offered by UC Davis Graduate Studies. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is the largest veterinary school in the United States and has been ranked first in the world for five consecutive years (2015–19).[15] UC Davis also offers certificates and courses, including online classes, for adults and non-traditional learners through its Division of Continuing and Professional Education. The UC Davis Aggies athletic teams compete in NCAA Division I, primarily as members of the Big West Conference with additional sports in the Big Sky Conference (football only) and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. In its first year of full Division I status, 11 UC Davis teams qualified for NCAA post-season competitions.tarif fateh

I highly recommend this teaching veterinary hospital. They were able to help my Little fur baby when my regular vet could not. The staff and students are very willing to answer all questions to make sure that you are comfortable with the care your pet needs.Kathrine DeWitt

It was a beautiful afternoon walking around, taking pictures with my kids. I did notice a few trash cans were spilling over and there was some construction which ruined the atmosphere in places but other wise it was amazing.Garrett Embry

During my vaccination a woman complained to the man running it that the presentation we were given was not inclusive of those with disabilities as there was no written form of what was said. The man was completely condescending and just said okay but it was clear he didn’t care. I so appreciate this woman speaking up for those with disabilities that may need to see the instructions not just hear them – especially considering how many people getting the vaccine are older and may have hearing issues. She also said she had made this complaint before and nothing had been done. It’s 2021, let’s start being more inclusive and make sure health care is accessible! It’s not that hard.Maria Arms

My whole vaccine experience was great. Signage to get to the closest parking lot was easily visible. Footprints leading to the site assured 6 feet of distance. Outside students were very pleasant and kept things moving appropriately. State of the art temperature scanner greeted me at the door. After getting in the building all students knew their roles and responsibilities at each station stop. Vaccine was quickly given and waiting area was clean. That process was so easy, thank you so much. The website is updated regularly and easily navigated.Karen Hadley

This is a great location not only for a college, but also an event center. The event center in this beautiful campus provites loys of room for all thpes of events, incuding rehersals and fairs. I definitely suggest contacting the wonderful team at CNU if you want to have an event or want to arlttend this excellent school.OhfuL

NWCU Law provides a glimpse into the future of college education, providing four years of law school tuition and books for less than most bricks-and-mortar schools offer one year of tuition only (around $3k plus books / year, at time of writing). I have waited until midway through 3L to write this review, but have been impressed by the school since enrolling in late 2014. Before enrolment, I spent a long time researching limited evidence regarding the best options for online / part-time study, and hope this information will provide help to potential students. Pertinently, having spoken to graduated attorneys from ABA schools, especially those who returned as adults, many wish they had looked at a similar option, and gained a J.D. without $200k in debt, but simply had no idea this path existed. Importantly (and repeatedly disclosed by the school) is that by attending a law school not accredited by the ABA, there is little opportunity to ever even take the bar outside California, although that leaves plenty of federal law, J.D. advantage, general counsel, and other opportunities available. The end game then, after 4 years of fairly intense study, is the chance to take the California bar, statistically one of the hardest in the country. The 'dreaded' Baby Bar weeds out those with little chance of achieving that ultimate goal, to save wasting years 2-4 of study, and provides a tough obstacle to all students. To be clear, this is no easy path or fast-track to becoming a lawyer, and certainly neither for everyone or a majority, but for the smart and motivated, it is hard to beat. "Study" consists mostly of directed reading both of law and previous legal opinions, backed up with assignments which effectively reinforce and demonstrate understanding of legal terms, their context and application. Support is mainly through forums and message boards, but when needed, is remarkably consistent. Questions are answered and guidance given, usually within 24 hours, 52 weeks a year – an impressive provision. In my experience, students are generally very happy with the support they receive from professors, who do genuinely seem to care about the progress of students they have never physically met. I am fortunate to have mentors to discuss questions with, and have therefore utilized the support occasionally rather than regularly, but there is much there, plenty to challenge and spark the mind. I can confirm that administrators are available and responsive. Program flexibility is both a strength and a danger. I have personally studied through the birth of two kids, illnesses and major changes in employment and available time, both with weeks off, and 60 hour weeks on, to keep it on track. Day to day, there are no mandatory obligations, but beyond 1L especially, many live optional chats are available. Annually, however, there is an inflexible 52 consecutive weeks to complete each study year, and if you fall behind the recommended pace, catching up is tough. Expect to dedicate around 20 hrs weekly across a whole year to pass, or to work nights or weekends to regain control should you fall behind. In all, I return to my earlier statement – this is an excellent option for the smart and motivated, and some day, more college will be this way. Anyone considering options should compare bar pass rates against "bricks-and-mortar" law schools under consideration, and the percentages of enrolled / graduated students from those schools practising as lawyers, as opposed to undefined "J.D. advantage" positions (or worse), then weigh the costs and benefits as they apply. Read around the subject, and canvas opinions from lawyers in fields you are considering, about the relative value of law school degree options. Against a top 15 law school, NWCU is really no option at all. Against the top 50, the return on greater investment is likely still worth it. However, at time of writing, there are 205 ABA approved, and 32 non-ABA approved law schools, and unless you have a clear and guaranteed path to success, NWCU is an option worthy of serious consideration.Andy Sones

Overview: Northwestern California University School of Law is a legitimate and challenging law school that gives an amazing opportunity for an affordable on-line law degree that allows one to understand the law and take the California State Bar exam to become an attorney. The best things about the school: It has a very flexible learning schedule allowing 4 years to get a J.D. degree. It has generally good instructional books, CD lectures, and other materials similar or identical to that of the best law schools. Students have more ample access to help from professors who are also California attorneys. One can attend classes on-line instead of relocating or driving to school. It is extremely affordable compared to other traditional law schools. It uses modern on-line technology to learn and interact with other students and professors. It has a 30+ year history so it is not a risky “upstart” law school. The worst about the school: It isn’t an ABA school so you can’t use it to immediately take the bar exam to become an attorney in most other states besides California. You must be very self-disciplined to spend about 80-100 hours per month studying law because no one is going to “hold your hand” and make sure you are keeping up on your study like a brick and mortar law school. I did my first year at an “inexpensive” traditional law school which cost me about $20,000. I wish I had started here instead and saved my money. I learned in my first year of school that law is overwhelmingly self-taught via personal reading and private studying. Although I was initially very skeptical of this school because the tuition was so low, I found that I actually had more personal attention from professors in class and outside of class than I did with my previous “brick and mortar” law school. It is certainly true that more expensive schools usually have higher bar pass rates but passing the bar is far more about your personal ability and dedicated preparation than your academic degree. I went to this school and passed the bar on my first try because I studied hard; about 15 to 20 percent of fancy and often debt-ridden ABA school grads can’t make that claim. Someday, all law schools will be more like this one. Peter Wallis, Attorney and Counselor at LawPeter Wallis

Finding this school is like finding a pearl in haystack. Yes, this is NOT an ABA approved school. It's not brick and mortar. But if you aim to sit for the California Bar and practice in California, this school is a great alternative. I know we all are impressed by fancy titles from Stanford or UCLA, but if you have a family, or full time working responsibilities you'll have access to an outstanding legal education for a total of $12k in tuition, plus books. This school is breaking glass ceilings for working class people, and I look forward to be part of their academic community!Alexandra Indaco-Heredia

California has a great community college system. It has been a privilege to be able to attend and graduate from two of the nearby colleges. Fees are reasonable, classes are convenient, instructions have been good, and being able to gain knowledge is great.Bill Fong

This office stole money from me. They claimed I owed money that was very clearly payed for classes I took 8 years ago at my junior college. I understand the state and it's entities are underfunded, but it does not validate theft!nataliearias

Home of the Business & Technology departments. Has computer labs for students and a good place to study. A good amount of help is available especially during finals. I would recommend coming here if you want to know more about business degrees or tech opportunities. Two year degrees can be possible.Arabica beans (GrootRoots)

I am currently enrolled in the Working Professional MBA program in San Ramon through UC Davis GSM. It's an awesome experience so far! Most of the professors are very knowledgeable and understand the limitations we have as full time employees. Highly recommend 🙂Dina Hanna

CNU CHS cultivates a collaborative learning environment with many students who have like-minded goals. The faculty and staff are supportive and guide students through their journey to professional schools/careers. The class sizes allow for students to get the attention and support needed to be as successful as possible. CHS is its own family in which students right out of high school or undergrad are able to learn effectively and be thoroughly supported to follow their dreams.Nikhila K Reddy

I’m a student at CHS, and I have had an amazing experience here! The community here is small but close-knit, and you really feel welcome and included. The smaller class sizes are also great for getting to know the faculty & professors so you can make strong connections!Bethany Joy

TOTAL SCAM. The teachers and administration lie to the students about having a guaranteed spot and preferential treatment at the medical school. Save your time and money and apply ANYWHERE ELSE. Do not trust Angel. He will say anything to bring in new students.John Dover

Emily and Emelina are two of the most conniving women ever. Liars that use mean girl tactics to get other women fired. Emelina is even a self proclaimed “mean girl.” Work here at your own risk.Sunshine Jewel

Regina is amazing!! She works so hard to ensure students get a good experience and helps everyone to the best of her ability.Paige Astoria
