Cal Poly Pomona occupies a 1,438-acre campus in eastern Los Angeles County, situated at the former winter ranch estate of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg. The university, established in 1938 and part of the California State University system, maintains the Arabian horse program initiated by Kellogg and features a mix of modern and Spanish colonial revival architecture across its suburban campus. Known for its polytechnic approach and learn-by-doing philosophy, the university offers strong programs in engineering, architecture, business administration, and agriculture, with the College of Engineering consistently ranking among the top public engineering programs in the western United States. The campus provides traditional dormitory and suite-style student housing, with first-year students primarily housed in traditional residence halls, while the university competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos.
