History
Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) first opened its doors on Sept. 15, 1938, with an all-male enrollment of 110 students as the Voorhis Unit of California State Polytechnic College in San Luis Obispo. The Pomona campus began as a satellite location on the 150-acre San Dimas site of the former Voorhis School for Boys, until 1949 when breakfast cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg donated 813 acres of land to the state of California. In 1956, 508 students and 44 faculty and staff moved from the satellite location to the current Kellogg campus. Cal Poly Pomona has carefully preserved many features of Kellogg’s hilltop Arabian horse ranch, including his mansion, rose gardens, avocado groves, stables and, of course, the award-winning Kellogg Arabian horses, featured in horse shows on campus.
The CBA has always been at the forefront of social mobility and education, offering internships as far back as the early 1970’s, installing national co-ed business fraternity Pi Sigma Epsilon on campus in 1971, and offering night classes for undergraduates as far back as 1975. Cal Poly Pomona debuted its first graduate business program in 1970 and since then, the CBA has continued to grow in resources, program offerings, and enrollment. In 2022, the school was established as the Singelyn Graduate School of Business, thanks to a transformative gift from alumni couple David and Ruth Singelyn.
Today, Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Business Administration and Singelyn Graduate School of Business is comprised of six departments, offering eight undergraduate options under the degree Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and several Master of Science degrees. The College is also home to centers of excellence that provide research opportunities, industry collaboration, and polytechnic student experiences to reinforce the “learn by doing” ethos the school was founded upon.
The campus has been continuously designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in Cybersecurity by the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, and Central Security Service since 2005. The university continues to thrive today as a part of the 23-campus California State University system with about 24,000 students and 2,600 faculty and staff.
