The university comprises 10 colleges: Agriculture, Business Administration, Education and Integrative Studies, Engineering, Environmental Design, Hospitality Management, Letters/Arts/Social Sciences, Professional and Global Education, Science, and the Singelyn Graduate School of Business.
Cal Poly Pomona identifies itself as '#1 Polytechnic University for Diversity and Economic Mobility,' centered on a 'learn by doing' philosophy where students apply their education in practical, hands-on ways. The campus hosts more than 300 clubs and organizations, provides on-campus housing in residence halls and themed communities, and is located in Southern California with access to mountains, beaches, and downtown Los Angeles.
For Pomona families with students at Cal Poly or other local institutions, planning for years of education and career development is fundamental—a reason families choose term coverage that extends through those formative years.
