Cal Poly Pomona opened September 15, 1938 with an all-male enrollment of 110 students as the Voorhis Unit of California State Polytechnic College in San Luis Obispo. It was located on the 150-acre San Dimas site of the former Voorhis School for Boys.
Breakfast cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg deeded 813 acres of land located three miles south of the Voorhis campus to the state of California in 1949.
In 1956, 508 students and 44 faculty and staff moved from San Dimas to the Kellogg campus. In a first for the all-male campus, 329 women joined the student body in 1961. The Pomona campus separated from the San Luis Obispo campus in 1966 and became California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg Campus. University status was granted in 1972.
Today, the campus covers 1,438 acres and is the second largest in area among the California State University’s 23 campuses. About 2,700 faculty and staff support the education of 22,000 students.
Benefitting from a diverse campus community, Cal Poly Pomona is alive with academic, social and volunteer opportunities.
Students may choose to work side-by-side with faculty on research, garner unique internships or volunteer in community development projects. Lecture series, such as the Kellogg Distinguished Lectures, bring high-profile thought leaders to campus each quarter to discuss critical issues important to learning and leadership in an increasingly global world.
Students are encouraged to get involved and make the most of their college experience. The campus community boasts nearly 300 clubs and organizations reflecting a broad range of interests.
Students can help build the annual float for the Tournament of Roses Parade, take part in national competitions, perform in theatre and musical production, discover Greek life, cheer on one of our 10 NCAA Division II teams. The list goes on and on.
Easily accessible from the 10 and 57 freeways, Cal Poly Pomona is strategically located at the nexus of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
