High Demand Majors

While not impacted, the below majors are in high demand and therefore, more competitive. To assist with academic preparation, Cal Poly Pomona has identified preferred courses that prospective applicants can take to help in furthering their studies in their selected major.  

  • Non-local applicants will receive additional consideration based on how many of these courses are completed with a "C" or higher 
  • Local area applicants that meet CSU requirements will be admitted into the university regardless of the preferred course list, but completeting these course will cut down their time to degree completion
