College of Agriculture (California State Polytechnic University Pomona)

Welcome to the College of Agriculture at Cal Poly Pomona! You've taken the first step in discovering all the great things we have to offer.

Most people are surprised to find out that agriculture is alive and well in southern California--and we're living proof! We're teaching traditional and urban agriculture to students who will "feed the world, clothe humanity and sustain the earth." If you are not familiar with Cal Poly Pomona or the College of Agriculture, here's a little bit of information about us:

We are a small, close-knit college of approximately 1000 students. However, we are also part of a larger university community that includes 18,000 students, excellent library facilities, state-of-the-art computer labs, a well-stocked bookstore, plentiful student services, and great places to eat.
The faculty and staff are well qualified and friendly, they care about our students.
We provide a quality education and students "learn-by-doing," in the classroom as well as in our many field laboratories.
Cal Poly Pomona is an excellent value for the educational dollar. It's one of the lowest priced universities in California and is nationally recognized by U. S. News and World Report as one of the best regional universities in the west.
Students actually get to know each other--a real feat at larger universities. They study, work and play together.
There are many exciting opportunities for students to become involved with extra-curricular activities through competitive teams, clubs and other student organizations.
We're located in a major metropolitan area, which means more jobs, housing, internships, scholarships and entertainment opportunities for our students. But in spite of this, our campus still retains a rural atmosphere dominated by croplands, orchards, pastures and livestock.
Our faculty members are actively involved with industry research and provide practical research opportunities for our students.
Our academic programs have developed several "centers of excellence" to enhance the classroom learning experience and provide expertise to industry.
And finally, our graduates are in demand--employers want to hire our students.
