Pomona is one of three polytechnic universities in the 22-campus

California State University system and among 12 such institutions nationwide. Since its founding in 1938, Cal Poly Pomona students participate in an integrative experiential learning education thatis inclusive, relevant, and values diverse perspectives and experiences. With a variety of degree programs in the arts,humanities, sciences, engineering, and professional disciplines,the university is well known for its learn- by-doing approach and Teacher Scholar Model.

The university is noted for its scenic and historic 1,400-acre campus, which was once the winter ranch of cereal magnate W.K.Kellogg. We acknowledge that Cal Poly Pomona resides on the territorial and homelands of the Tongva and Tataavium people whoare the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar. The university'snearly 30,000 students are taught and mentored by the campus's morethan 1,400 faculty as part of 54 baccalaureate and 29 master'sdegree programs, 11 credential and certificate programs, and adoctorate in educational leadership.

The College of Environmental Design at Cal Poly Pomona delivers an immersive polytechnic education grounded in sustainability, publicimpact, and design excellence. ENV's approach blends studio-based pedagogy with community engagement and applied research, preparing students to address urgent environmental, social, and spatialchallenges.

Graduating students emerge with a strong foundation in visual andspatial literacy, systems analysis, and collaborativeproblem-solving. They are trained to navigate complexenvironmental, regulatory, and community dynamics, and to translateuser needs into ethical, context-sensitive design solutions.

Emphasis is placed on civic responsibility, professional integrity,and adaptive leadership. Whether entering practice, public service,or graduate study, ENV graduates are equipped to create meaningfulchange through design

Sustainability and Regenerative Studies explore communities and systems that renew, restore, and grow stronger over time.

Incorporating natural processes, community action, technology andhuman creativity, regenerative design encourages a way of living that not only protects resources but actively enriches them
-ensuring that our shared future becomes more vibrant, balanced, and sustainable with each generation.

Sustainability and Regenerative studies curricula underscore an interdisciplinary education encompassing social/cultural studies,natural sciences, and technology. Courses in this disciplineintegrate various disciplines (i.e., ecology, planning and policymanagement, land design and landscape architecture, sociology).This requires substantive knowledge about the connections between these fields, to provide students with guidance through a broad range of interdisciplinary methods, theories, and perspectives.

The Sustainability and Regenerative Studies programs include the Master of Sustainability and Regenerative Studies and the minor in Sustainability and Regenerative Studies.
