About Cal Poly Pomona
Pomona is one of three polytechnic universities in the 22-campus California State University system and among 12 such institutions nationwide. Since its founding in 1938, Cal Poly Pomona students participate in an integrative experiential learning education that is inclusive, relevant, and values diverse perspectives and experiences. With a variety of degree programs in the arts, humanities, sciences, engineering, and professional disciplines, the university is well known for its learn- by-doing approach and Teacher Scholar Model.
The university is noted for its scenic and historic 1,400-acre campus, which was once the winter ranch of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg. We acknowledge that Cal Poly Pomona resides on the territorial and homelands of the Tongva and Tataavium people who are the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar. The university's nearly 30,000 students are taught and mentored by the campus's more than 1,400 faculty as part of 54 baccalaureate and 29 master's degree programs, 11 credential and certificate programs, and a doctorate in educational leadership.
About the College of Engineering
The College of Engineering is a recognized leader in undergraduate engineering education and consistently ranks high nationally by the U.S. News & World Report among state-supported undergraduate engineering programs in non-doctorate-granting institutions. We are the largest college on campus and admissions are selective. We enroll approximately 7,000+ undergraduate students and graduate approximately 1000+ every year. We enroll approximately 400+ graduate students and graduate approximately 100 every year. The college offers ten bachelor's degrees in engineering, two bachelor's degrees in engineering technology, and six engineering master's degrees. Our undergraduate student body is very diverse with 51 percent from underrepresented groups and nearly 41 percent of our recent graduates are first-generation and low-income.
We graduate day-one professionals that are highly sought after by industry. Teaching, student learning, and student success are our major priorities, and active research and scholarly activities are expected of faculty. To support these priorities, 62% of our instructional spaces are devoted to laboratories. Faculty embrace the teacher-scholar model that integrates the commitment to excellent teaching with ongoing scholarly engagement to strengthen and support both faculty and students. The vision of the college of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona is to become the leader in modern engineering education through robust "Learn by Doing" in the classroom and beyond.
