Polytechnic Education for Personal, Community, and Business Growth.

Educating nearly 5,000 students, the College of Business Administration (CBA) is the largest college on the Cal Poly Pomona campus and one of the largest business schools in the CSU system. Accredited by AACSB International, the comprehensive undergraduate and graduate CBA programs prepare future business leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs who facilitate the growth of Southern California's diverse markets and communities.

An example of the strength of the CBA's academic programs is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's designation of the college's Computer Information Systems program as a National Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Offering an opportunity for growth and excellence to many young people who are the first in their families to pursue higher education, the CBA is proud to rank 6th nationally in awarding undergraduate business degrees to minority students.
