Mary Holz-Clause, Dean Lisa A. Kessler, Associate Dean

As the founding college of the University, instruction in the College of Agriculture is offered in eight majors leading to the Bachelor of Science degree.  There are five Master of Science subplans offered in Agricultural Science, Animal Science, Nutrition and Food Science, Plant Science and Irrigation Science.

The College of Agriculture prepares students for careers in a wide variety of positions throughout the agricultural, food, apparel/textile industries, environment, science, and healthcare fields.  Careers can be found in business, industry, education, conservation, recreation, specialized services, governmental work, as well as production.  Positions can vary from technical and analytical to creative and entrepreneurial.  Career opportunities for men and women are numerous with many being relatively unknown a few years ago.  Challenging occupations exist at both the domestic and international level, especially for individuals with dual language skills.  Students from rural and urban communities will find a broad spectrum of opportunities that suit their interests and abilities.

The Agriculture Industry

The agriculture industry serves the State by generating food for the U.S. and the world.  While less than two percent of California’s population now lives and works on the farm, approximately 80,500 farming businesses produce food worth $44.7 billion and well over $100 billion in processing, packaging and distribution of the food supply.  Agriculture graduates find careers in areas such as production, research, biotechnology, governmental regulation, environment and natural resource management, water management, golf course management, and education.

The Food Industry

The Southern California food industry provides an ever increasing number of job opportunities for graduates.  Careers can be found in areas such as nutrition science, dietetics, food chemistry, food processing, sensory evaluation, product development, food management, food marketing, food safety, and culinology.  Nutrition science and dietetics is a pathway for many students pursuing graduate programs in the medical and healthcare fields.

The Apparel Industry

The California apparel sector is the largest and most dynamic in the United States.  Los Angeles is a major international fashion hub, containing many top apparel brands and retail groups. Career opportunities are diverse, embracing buying, designing, product development, production, visual merchandising, store operations management, and brand marketing.  Employers vary from global corporations to young entrepreneurial businesses, drawn from across the manufacturing, retailing, textile, and design technology/consulting services sectors of the industry.

Facilities for Animal Science, Animal Health Science, and Plant Science

Facilities on or near the campus make possible practical laboratories for the various majors. The university farm consists of fertile soils typical of the southern California area with enough variation in soil type and climate to give students broad experience.  Over 700 acres of university owned land are available for pastures, crops, groves, and ornamental plantings.  Animal production flocks and herds are maintained for undergraduate instruction and graduate research.

Facilities for Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science and Technology 

Classrooms and laboratories are housed in Building 7.  Laboratories include sophisticated testing and research equipment for numerous faculty and student research and projects in nutrition and product development.

Facilities for Apparel Merchandising and Management

Classrooms and laboratories are housed in Building 45.  Laboratory space includes computer labs with apparel industry specific software in patternmaking, product development, and retail buying.  A senior production lab and a senior retail showroom are used for the production students AM2 line of clothing and the retail activity ApparelScapes.

College of Agriculture Programs

Agricultural research institute (ari).

The College of Agriculture is an active participant in the State’s Agricultural Research Institute (ARI). The program provides public funds that are matched “dollar for dollar” with industry and governmental agency resources to support food and agricultural research. Using university facilities, the faculty, technical staff, and students are able to conduct funded research targeted to improve the economic efficiency, productivity, profitability, and sustainability of California agriculture and allied industries.

California Agricultural Leadership Program

Cal Poly Pomona, through the College of Agriculture, is one of four universities in the state which participate in the California Agricultural Leadership Program. Under the auspices of the Agricultural Education Foundation, the Program consists of a series of seminars and travel experiences designed to broaden the perspectives of selected mid-career agricultural professionals who have demonstrated leadership potential. Participants complete the program with a greater capacity to accept leadership responsibility in any part of society. For more information, contact the Dean of the College of Agriculture.

Special Programs for Agriculture Students

Ag recruitment.

The College of Agriculture has developed an ongoing outreach program for prospective students from both high schools and community colleges. Students, faculty and staff regularly visit southern California schools to talk to students, parents and teachers about attending college, studying a wide range of programs offered by the College and attending Cal Poly Pomona. Our Ag Recruitment Office also provides campus tours and pre-admission counseling, as well as serving as a contact point for new and prospective students. For assistance, please call Ag Recruitment at (909) 869-2869.

Agriculture Educational Enhancement Services (AGREES)

AGREES is a college-based program designed to improve the retention and graduation rate of students enrolled in the College of Agriculture. AGREES provides faculty and peer interaction as well as a variety of support services to assist students in their academic pursuits at Cal Poly Pomona.

Cooperative Education

The College of Agriculture commenced a cooperative education program with industry, business and government during the fall quarter, 1978. This program is designed to provide alternating periods of full-time study and full-time work. It is expected that each student in the co-op education program will spend a total of four quarters over a three-year period gaining work experience. For these four quarters of experience the student will receive 16 units of academic credit.

The co-op education program will:

• Provide the opportunity for the student to gain experience in agricultural production, agribusiness, agricultural research, and/or government. This experience should stimulate the student’s interest in those areas of academic instruction that relate to the newly acquired experience.
• Provide students with the opportunity to evaluate alternative careers.
• Provide an opportunity for students to earn a salary which will enable them to attend school full-time during alternating quarters.
• Provide an opportunity for prospective employers to get acquainted with co-op students.

More information may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Agriculture and/or the University’s Career Center.

Student Enterprise Projects

Students in the College of Agriculture are provided an opportunity to learn the interrelated skills involved in the production of a crop or animal project by means of the Student Enterprise Project experience. This supervised work program allows the student to utilize College of Agriculture facilities and equipment, along with financing provided through the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation. All aspects of project design, initiation and completion are developed by the student in consultation with the supervising faculty member. In addition to valuable experiential learning, the student is able to share in the profits generated by the project. Interested students should see their department chair for further information.

Student Organizations and Activities

Students in the College of Agriculture have the opportunity to become involved with many different types of student organizations, whether it be for a specific major or for a team that competes intercollegiately. Organizations offer students the opportunity to meet informally with students and faculty outside of the class room and to network with alumni and industry representatives. Students are encouraged to broaden their college experience by joining one of the following student organizations: Ag Ambassadors, Agricultural Biology Club, Agricultural Council, Agricultural Education Club, Animal Health Science and Technology Association, Apparel Merchandising & Management Association, Collegiate FFA, Equestrian Drill Team, Fashion Society, Food Science Society, Food Marketing Association, Foods and Nutrition Forum, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America Club, Horse Show Team, Crops, Livestock, and Soils Judging Teams, Livestock Show Teams, Los Rancheros, Los Robles, Peer Advisors, Phi Upsilon Omicron, Pre-Vet Club and Rodeo Club. In addition to student organizations, there are many opportunities for students to work or volunteer for the farm, livestock units, nursery, farm store, and horse center.

College Of Agriculture Orientation Proficiency

Congresswoman Torres, Senator Padilla, Senator Butler, and Reps. Napolitano, Carbajal Secure Appropriations Provision to Support Cal Poly/Air Force Research Laboratory Partnership

Pomona, CA — Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35), Congresswoman Grace Napolitano (CA-31), Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA) applauded the inclusion of their provision to increase federal funding by an additional $5 million to support U.S. Air Force research on critical aerospace engineering needs . This year, the FY 2024 federal funding law (Public Law 118-47) appropriated $5 million for aerospace engineering systems security integration.

This funding allows the Air Force to increase engineering assistance to accelerate strategic proficiency in novel advanced agile air platform technologies. California universities, such as Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, can participate in the program to develop rapid and secure engineering research and development concepts to protect intellectual property and manufacturing practices for prototype development, expanding opportunities to advance the core priorities of the U.S. Air Force.

“This provision is a victory for everyone involved,” said Congresswoman Norma Torres. “Projects with the U.S. Air Force will allow Inland Empire students to excel: receiving premiere hands-on STEM education and the support they need for high-quality careers after they graduate. At the same time, these students will work to improve our national security and expand our country’s capabilities in aerospace engineering. I am proud to have worked with Reps. Carbajal and Napolitano as well as Senators Padilla and Butler to secure the funding that sets my constituents and Americans at large on a path to success.”

“Strengthening collaborative, hands-on experiences for California students and faculty through cutting-edge research laboratories will bolster our STEM workforce pipeline while supporting aerospace innovation. This funding builds upon the strong partnership between the Cal Poly University system and the U.S. Air Force to help advance key national security priorities.” said Senator Padilla. 

“I have been honored to join Congresswoman Torres and Congressman Carbajal in support of these important aerospace engineering projects at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. These funds will help prepare the next generation of engineers while supporting vital military research and design.” said Congresswoman Napolitano.

“The $5 million boost for Cal Poly’s Air Force program will strengthen the federal government’s partnership with STEM education initiatives in California and invest in new talent coming out of the Cal Poly system. This funding will go a long way in providing budding engineers with the training and skills needed to drive forward innovation and progress in the aerospace industry.” said Senator Butler .

“Military-educational partnerships like the one between the Air Force and Cal Poly enhance our national security capabilities and provide Cal Poly students with hands-on learning opportunities that set them up for successful careers when they graduate. The continued support for their partnership in this year’s funding deal will help drive innovation and support the next generation of aerospace leaders, and I’m proud of the work my colleagues and I did to get this funding over the finish line." said Congressman Carbajal.

Reps. Torres, Napolitano, and Carbajal have previously announced $45 million in additional funding for partnerships between California Polytechnic State Universities and the Air Force Research Laboratory as part of previous years’ appropriations processes. To learn more click here .

Group of college students builds game-changing sustainable home aimed at combating housing crisis — see inside

"We wanted to make it modern, we wanted to keep that style and break the idea of the house being old and farm style."

Students at Cal Poly Pomona weren't afraid to tackle two major challenges at once, and their project may provide a path toward more eco-friendly and affordable housing design. 

As detailed by The Poly Post, the university's student-run newsletter, a group of students across multiple disciplines brought their vision of Roots House to fruition over three semesters of dedication. Numerous sponsors, including Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric, and Gerber, supported the work. 

Students on the project believe their efforts could help solve the housing crisis in California, where the university is based.

The state's lack of affordable housing is a multilayered issue, but as the project's official website points out , the situation has been exacerbated by rising global temperatures, which have led to an increase in extreme weather events. As detailed by The Washington Post , disasters like wildfires have priced some residents out of areas they could previously afford. 

The house, which entered the 2023 Orange County Sustainability Decathlon, took sustainability and health into consideration, avoiding "red list" items that contain harmful chemicals and using weatherizing and carbon-soaking materials, including hemp and bamboo . 

Hemp and bamboo have both been used in construction for thousands of years, but they have recently been receiving increased attention in the United States, with reduced electric bills and less pollution and deforestation associated with construction among the benefits. 

Watch now: Alex Honnold test drives his new Rivian

According to the UN Environment Programme , around 37% of planet-warming pollution is produced by the building and construction sector. Finding ways to improve energy efficiency in our structures and reduce pollution during the build process will help create a healthier future. 

The Roots House project began with 24 architecture students and 24 engineering students, per the school paper , but it took more than 100 contributors to complete.

"We wanted to make it modern, we wanted to keep that style and break the idea of the house being old and farm style," design lead Kevin Chimpen told The Poly Post.  

In addition to winning third in water use and conservation, as well as sustainability and resilience, the Roots House tied for first in the energy efficiency and health and comfort categories at the decathlon.

Photos of the house on the initiative's website reveal an open, welcoming structure that appears to let in plenty of natural light. At this time, the project is accepting requests for customized Roots ADUs, though there aren't any specifics posted about the pricing structure.

Baby horses arrive at Cal Poly Pomona's Arabian Horse Center

Apr. 5—It's baby season at Cal Poly Pomona where two new foals have arrived and one more is expected to come later this month.

This spring, three Arabian foals will be born at the W.K Kellogg Arabian Horse Center, continuing the 99-year legacy of breeding Arabian horses in Pomona, according to a news release from the college. Two colts "Declan" and "Julio" are two weeks old and one week old, respectively. The third foal is due within two weeks.

W.K. Kellogg donated the Arabian Horse Center and his former ranch to the state of California in 1932 with the stipulation that the Arabian breeding program and Sunday horse shows be maintained, according to the Cal Poly Pomona website. The ranch was turned over to the California State University system in 1949 and became home to what would become Cal Poly Pomona.

The Arabian Horse Center is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Sunday horse shows are generally held at 2 p.m. the first Sunday of each month, weather permitting.
