The individual California State Colleges were brought together by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960, and in 1972 the California State University system was formed. The CSU offers more than 1,800 bachelor's and master's degree programs in some 357 subject areas. With almost 437,000 students, who were taught by some 44,000 faculty, the system awards about half of the bachelor's degrees and a third of the master's degrees granted in California. Since 1961, the CSU has awarded nearly 2.6 million bachelor's, master's and joint doctoral degrees. Cal Poly Pomona opened September 15, 1938 with an all-male enrollment of 110 students as the Voorhis Unit of California State Polytechnic College in San Luis Obispo. It was located on the 150- acre San Dimas site of the former Voorhis School for Boys. Breakfast cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg deeded 813 acres of land located three miles south of the Voorhis campus to the state of California in 1949. In 1956, 508 students and 44 faculty and staff moved from San Dimas to the Kellogg campus. In a first for the all-male campus, 329 women joined the student body in 1961. The Pomona campus separated from the San Luis Obispo campus in 1966 and became California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg Campus. University status was granted in 1972. Today, the campus covers 1,438 acres and is the second largest in area among the California State University’s 23 campuses. 3,000 faculty and staff support the education of 21,000 students. Cal Poly Pomona is nestled in 1,438 rolling acres on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. As one of only two polytechnic universities in the state, Cal Poly Pomona is known for its learn-by- doing philosophy. The University recognizes that students who solve classroom problems today have an advantage as employees solving real-world problems tomorrow. Ranked among the top public universities in the western United States, Cal Poly Pomona provides a rich academic experience that encourages hands-on learning in every program, course, and activity on campus. Eight academic Colleges offer more than 100 degree programs, including undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, credential and certificate programs. There are around 22,000 students that attend Cal Poly Pomona, 20,000 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate students. The University employs 1,208 faculty and 1,410 staff members. Cal Poly Pomona benefits from a richly diverse community reflective of the greater Los Angeles area. The student body is roughly one-third Latino, one-quarter Asian and 3 percent black. The University also has a healthy percentage of out-of-state and international students. U.S News noted Cal Poly Pomona was eighth most diverse among regional universities in the West and tenth most diverse in the nation. As a part of the California State University system, the University is state supported and offers competitive tuition fees that are well below that of other universities in the United States. The in-state registration, tuition and fees for a full-time undergraduate student is $2,125 per quarter and $2,547 per quarter for graduate students. Non-California residents pay an additional $246 per unit. The University has a polytechnic emphasis in the application of science, technology and the arts to the needs of the professions and society. By linking the theoretical and the practical in all areas of study, the University aims to generate the understanding, attitudes and perspectives that will enable students and graduates to solve complex problems and enrich local and world communities. Cal Poly Pomona is dedicated to preparing students for life, leadership, and careers in a changing, multicultural world. Through its programs and services, the University promotes academic excellence, educational equity, diversity in the campus community, and an understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Ethnic minority groups make up 68% of the student body, 58% of staff personnel and 37% of faculty. 4 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Department of Architecture Architecture Program Report Submitted: Sept. 7, 2013 I.1.1b History of the Architecture program, its mission, and its founding principles The Department of Architecture is part of the College of Environmental Design. In addition to Architecture the College offers a graduate degree in Regenerative Studies; undergraduate and graduate degrees in Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning; and undergraduate degrees in Art and Graphic Design. The College is dedicated to the pursuit of the design professions as a human imperative. Its programs are distinguished by a strong interdisciplinary course of instruction combined with a hands-on approach to the educational process. Excellence in design, enhanced by social and environmental concerns, is the basis of the curriculum as well as the measure of the faculty and programs. The College remains committed to the “learn by doing” polytechnic approach to education, which links theory to practice. Consequently, ENV graduates are recognized by business and industry for their superior preparation to enter the workforce. The history of the Architecture Department begins in 1965 when discussions were initiated by the Department of Landscape Architecture to provide a separate Department for those persons seeking an architectural education. At that time approximately 1,400 students were enrolled in architectural courses at the adjacent five community Colleges. During the Fall Quarter 1966, the first courses in architecture were offered within Landscape Architecture, which was then part of the School of Agriculture. In 1968 a major study headed by Dean Lawrence Anderson from M.I.T. was commissioned by the College to consider the appropriateness of starting an architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona. A year later, in 1969, Architecture became a program option within the Department of Environmental
