Cal Poly Pomona College of Business Administration

What Cal Poly Pomona College of Business Administration does

Cal Poly Pomona College of Business Administration (CBA) is a public business school operating within the California State University system, located in Pomona, California, at the geographic intersection of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. The institution serves undergraduate and graduate students primarily from Southern California, offering eight Bachelor of Science concentrations (Accounting, Computer Information Systems, E-Business, Finance Real Estate and Law, Marketing Management, International Business, Management and Human Resources, and Technology and Operations Management) plus nine graduate programs through the Singelyn Graduate School of Business, including an MBA and STEM-designated specialized master's degrees in Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, Digital Supply Chain Management, Financial Analytics, Human Resources Leadership, and Information Security (delivered face-to-face and online). The school holds AACSB International accreditation and is structured around a polytechnic "Learn by Doing" philosophy that integrates real-world projects, competitions, and industry engagement across the curriculum.

The school's product surface extends beyond degree programs into specialized facilities and experiential platforms: the Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab provides Wall Street trading simulation; the Center for Cyber Risk supports a cybersecurity competition program that ranks among national leaders; the Singelyn Center for Innovative Analytics, Mitchell C. Hill Center for Digital Innovation, and Center for Customer Insights and Digital Marketing provide applied analytics and digital transformation capabilities; and the Student-Managed Investment Fund (SMIF), Bronco Startup Challenge, and CEO Business Challenge enable hands-on capital and entrepreneurship engagement. A 50,000+ business alumni network and a Dean's Advisory Council connect students to regional employers including Boeing, Deloitte, Amazon, Northrop Grumman, SpaceX, and Southern California Edison.

Cal Poly Pomona CBA is a state-funded, non-profit educational institution whose revenue is generated primarily through tuition (undergraduate and graduate), state appropriations via the California State University system, and private donations. Donor-supported infrastructure (the Singelyn Graduate School of Business, named centers, and the McPhee Scholar Program) supplements government funding. The institution does not operate on a commercial revenue model; its "customers" are enrolled students, and its "GTM motion" is community-led recruitment through campus visits, CSU application processes, and outreach to first-generation families in Southern California. Go-to-market emphasis is on experiential learning outcomes, polytechnic differentiation, and regional employer hiring.
