Located in Los Angeles County, Pomona is a thriving city of 150,000 nestled in California's Pomona Valley. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona—commonly known as Cal Poly Pomona—is located on the city's western edge, with an expansive campus that is the second largest in the California State University system. The school traces its roots to 1938, but gained its independence in 1966 when it split from its sister institution in San Luis Obispo. Today, Cal Poly Pomona is one of a small group of polytechnic universities in the United States that are primarily devoted to the technical arts and applied sciences. The university offers bachelor's degrees in 94 majors, 39 master's degrees, 13 teaching credentials, and doctorates across 9 distinct academic colleges.
