Research, scholarly and creative activity (RSCA) by faculty and students is crucial to our Teacher-Scholar Model. Research involves the acquisition of new knowledge and “learn by doing” means, in part, that students at Cal Poly Pomona must learn the techniques and the process of the creative and scholarly journey.
