The Honors College challenges and facilitates talented students to achieve academic and personal goals. The College provides an intellectually and socially stimulating environment for students of all majors to come together as a community of scholars. Admission is selective; a faculty committee chooses Honors students based on their application packages.
Honors students must maintain a 3.3 GPA to remain in the Kellogg Honors College during their time at Cal Poly Pomona. Students may graduate from the Honors College by participating in special Honors classes; some in their majors and several which satisfy the university’s general education requirements. Honors students have access to the Honors Commons, a gathering place in which they work and learn together. Special social events are held such as trips to museums, theaters, musical events and many opportunities for the students to get to know one another in a setting outside of class.
Special advising is provided for Honors students. Students are specially mentored to seek out summer research opportunities, scholarship applications, applications for graduate and professional schools, internships, and study abroad programs. Special grants are available to Honors students for enrichment activities such as attending professional conferences, summer research and study abroad.
