Sacramento State to create Native American College to support and empower Indigenous students

Sacramento State announced Friday the opening of a Native American College, marking the first school of its kind in the California State University system. The college will be the second ethnic-based institution housed at Sacramento State after the university opened its Black Honors College this fall. The Native American College will offer a range of programs that integrate tribal values, traditions and community engagement, school officials said. The college will begin accepting students for the fall 2025 semester and will have no GPA prerequisite. Officials also said the college would focus on pairing students with faculty mentors as part of the college.
