As California faces a shortage of almost a million college-educated workers by 2025, having a degree will open many doors for career opportunities and advancement. The College of Continuing Education (CCE) at Sac State has designed an online degree completion program, specifically to provide training for those who wish to facilitate the development of the emerging workforce in both traditional and non-traditional settings. Designed to prepare individuals with practical, marketable skills to successfully enter new careers or advance in their current fields, the Bachelor of Science in Career and Technical Studies (BSCTS) is ideal for working adults.
