Cal i fornia State Poly technic Universi t y, Pomona
HISTORYCal Poly Pomona opened September 1938 and has grown to be a
prominent university with 24,000 students from all parts of the
world. Breakfast cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg (yes, the man who
invented the corn flake cereal) donated 813 acres of land to the
state of California in 1949 for the purpose of breeding Arabian
Horses and promoting higher education. The campus continues to
honor W.K. Kellogg’s belief that “education offers the greatest
opportunity for really improving one generation over another.”
Today, the campus covers 1,438 acres and is the second largest in
area among the California State University’s 23 campuses. About
2,700 faculty and staff support the education of 24,000 students.
ENGAGED FACULTYDon’t expect your Cal Poly Pomona instructors to be “cloistered
academics.” We choose our faculty based on their success and
experience in the real world, as well as their ability to teach and
communicate. Their strong connection to the professional
world maintains the quality and relevancy of their teaching and
gives students a direct link to rewarding internships and career
opportunities. Their love of teaching shows in the personal
engagement they offer their students and their commitment to
provide every student with a quality education.
“I have learned to think clearly and express myself briefly and precisely and I have become more confident. Cal Poly Pomona not only prepared me for my career, it prepared me for life outside of my career.”
- Xuanni Pu (China), Hospitality Management
“The small class size is great as students get one-on-one feedback from the professors. This is one of the vital reasons Cal Poly Pomona is known to produce high quality graduates.”
- Beatrice Michael (Dubai), Food Science & Technology
“The sense of community here makes it different. The small classrooms and the interactions with each professor make the learning process so personal.”
- Abed Zarruq (Brazil), Civil Engineering
“Cal Poly Pomona has given me so many opportunities. I am a tutor, a peer advisor (for my major) and a student assistant. Cal Poly Pomona builds up my resume, both educationally and professionally.”
- Phuong Nguyen (Vietnam), Accounting
UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONSCal Poly Pomona offers a rich mix of academic disciplines that,
together, prepare our graduates to contribute to our global world.
Our learn-by-doing philosophy embraces the teaching of theory
through application, allowing both undergraduate and graduate
students to apply their knowledge with hands-on projects, faculty
led research and valuable internships and service learning programs.
This focus on actions and solutions turns our students into skilled
workers, integrative problem solvers and well-balanced leaders.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMThe University offers various programs such as International
Student Leadership Program (ISLP), Academic Seminars for
Graduate Students, Professional Development Program for Student
Teachers, and other customized programs based on international
students’ specific needs. ISLP helps students discover and develop
their leadership abilities while learning about the increasingly
interconnected global marketplace. The program is offered twice a
year with approximately three weeks for each session.

and graduate courses that are available. Students may enroll in up

students acquire a capacity for viewing issues from multiple
perspectives through their understanding and experiences
with students and faculty from different cultures and
socioeconomic groups. Cal Poly Pomona graduates are well
prepared for success in our increasingly global society.

graduates. Faculty in all disciplines apply
theory to practice, creating opportunities for
students to use their knowledge in hands-on
projects, collaboration in research, and
participation in valuable internships and
service learning programs. Cal Poly Pomona

and rural charm. Our premier Southern
California location offers close proximity to
career and internship opportunities as well as
cultural, art, music and theatre venues.
