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

doctorate in educational leadership.
