What Programs and Degree Levels Does Cal Poly Pomona Offer?
Updated
Cal Poly Pomona (cpp.edu) offers two degree levels: undergraduate programs and graduate programs. Within those two levels, the university groups its academic offerings into eight broad fields you can explore — Agriculture, Business, Design, Education, Engineering, Hospitality, Science, and Humanities/Social Sciences/Performing Arts. If you want the full list of individual majors, minors, or graduate degrees, you need to go through the program pages on the university site rather than rely on this overview.
The two degree levels
Cal Poly Pomona presents its academics under two main headings:
- Undergraduate Programs — the bachelor's-level path for students starting or transferring into college.
- Graduate Programs — advanced study for students who already hold a degree and want to go further in a field.
The site does not list every individual major or credential on its homepage, so treat these as the two entry points, not a complete catalog.
Fields you can explore
The university organizes its program exploration around these eight areas:
| Field | What it signals |
|---|---|
| Agriculture | Land, food, and environmental systems |
| Business | Management, finance, and related disciplines |
| Design | Visual, environmental, and built-environment design |
| Education | Teaching and educator preparation |
| Engineering | Applied engineering disciplines |
| Hospitality | Hospitality and tourism management |
| Science | Natural and applied sciences |
| Humanities / Social Sciences / Performing Arts | Liberal arts, social inquiry, and performance |
Each field links out to its own set of programs, so the specific majors inside a field are best confirmed on that field's page.
How to find the full program list
- Go to cpp.edu.
- Open the academics section (the homepage links to "Explore our Programs and Unlock Your Potential").
- Choose Undergraduate Programs or Graduate Programs.
- Select one of the eight fields to see the programs inside it.
The expected result is a field-specific list of programs; from there you can open an individual program page for its own details.
What this page does not tell you
The homepage material does not include admission requirements, deadlines, tuition, or a complete major-by-major list. Those details live on the individual program and admissions pages, so check them directly before making any decision.
Why the "Learn by Doing" framing matters here
Cal Poly Pomona describes itself as a polytechnic university built on hands-on, practical learning — the site's phrase is "Become by Doing." That matters for program choice: if you're comparing this school against a more lecture-centered option, the fit depends on whether you want your field's work to be applied and project-based. The university also positions itself as the "#1 polytechnic university for diversity and economic mobility," which is a claim about outcomes and student community rather than about any specific program's content.
For a concrete use of this: if you're interested in, say, Engineering, start at the Engineering field page, confirm which undergraduate and graduate programs exist there, then check that program's page for its own requirements — the homepage alone won't give you that.
