HONORS PROGRAM

Amanda Podany, Director

 

The Cal Poly Pomona Honors Program is designed to cultivate academic excellence, creativity, critical thinking, and independent research by providing a diverse and intellectually stimulating environment in which highly motivated students in all majors can come together and celebrate the fellowship of community. The Honors Program welcomes applica-tions from entering freshmen who have a high school GPA of 3.5 or above and SAT verbal and math scores of 550 or higher, or who are in the top 5% of their graduating class. Students who have recently entered Cal Poly (as freshmen or transfer students) may also apply for the honors program if they have maintained a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

The Honors Program provides students with the opportunity to enroll in smaller­sized classes specifically for honors students. They also gain access to enriched academic advising and mentoring, chances to attend special programs and cultural events, and the benefit of participating in a community of high-achieving students. Honors program students are required to maintain a GPA of 3.3.

INTERDISCIPLINARY GENERAL EDUCATION (IGE)

Nancy Page Fernandez, Director

 

The Interdisciplinary General Education (IGE) Program is a team-taught, thematically integrated sequence of courses that meets many general education requirements in a stimulating intellectual environment. These requirements, which apply to all California State University campuses, help to broaden skills and understanding in areas beyond the major (such as social science, literature, composition). Usually these requirements are fulfilled by taking separate courses.

IGE addresses the need for an integrated approach to curriculum, teaching, and scholarship and the creation of an extended learning community.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MINOR IN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The interdisciplinary GIS Minor was created for Cal Poly Pomona students whose majors include engineering, business, design, science, urban planning, education, agriculture and geography, in an effort to create a GIS-literate campus. The minor serves students who are interested in the application of GIS to their area of knowledge, or who seek to develop their skills in GIS-related areas. GIS technology offers new and powerful ways of combining data, mapping and spatial analysis to support research, management and policy-making. GIS users are trained in spatial modeling and know how to manipulate digital data, create databases, and develop software. The GIS minor provides fundamentals of GIS for students without previous work in GIS, but allows for modifications to the core for students with prior experience.

Components of the program include: data acquisition and manipulation; development of spatial thinking and visualization skills; creation of models and use of analytic methods; programming; problem solving using applied GIS technology; learning to create effective output; process management; GIS theory and ethics; and an interdisciplinary focus.

For more information students may contact Dr. Francelina Neto (Department of Civil Engineering), Dr. Lin Wu (Department of Geography and Anthropology) Dr. Jeff Marshall (Department of Geology), Dr. Hollie Lund (Department of Urban and Regional Planning) or look on the web at <http://www.csupomona.edu/~gis_info>
