California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly)[8] is a public university in San Luis Obispo, California, United States. Founded in 1901, It is the oldest of three polytechnic universities within the California State University system.[9] Cal Poly emphasizes a “learn by doing” philosophy, integrating hands-on, practical experiences into its curriculum.[10] As of Fall 2022, Cal Poly had approximately 21,000 undergraduate and 800 graduate students.[11] Cal Poly is well-regarded for its undergraduate programs, having been ranked 1st among Regional Universities in the Western US in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report rankings.[12] The university is home to several nationally recognized programs, particularly in engineering, architecture, and business, with the College of Engineering and the Orfalea College of Business standing out for their academic excellence and industry connections.[12][13] Most of the university's athletic teams participate in the Big West Conference.

History

[edit]
The California Polytechnic School

Establishment and early years

[edit]

Cal Poly was founded in 1901 as the California Polytechnic School, following the signing of the California Polytechnic School Bill by Governor Henry Gage. The school began classes on October 1, 1903, with 20 students enrolled, offering three-year secondary-level courses.[14]

Originally coeducational, the school enrolled 16 male and 4 female students.[15] In 1929, California Governor C.C. Young prohibited women from attending.[16] Women were readmitted in 1956. By Fall 2023, female students constituted 50.1% of the total student population.[17]

Transition to higher education

[edit]

In 1924, Cal Poly came under the control of the California State Board of Education. During the Great Depression, financial constraints led to discussions about converting Cal Poly into a state prison.[18]

In 1933, the institution transitioned to a two-year technological and vocational school. By 1940, it began offering Bachelor of Arts degrees, with the first baccalaureate ceremony held in 1942. In 1947, the school was renamed California State Polytechnic College to better reflect its expanding higher education offerings. A Master of Arts degree in education was added in 1949.[19]

Expansion and satellite campuses

[edit]

In 1938, Charles and Jerry Voorhis donated a farm and school to the Cal Poly. In 1949, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation gifted an 812-acre horse ranch in Pomona, California. Originally a satellite campus for Cal Poly, the Pomona campus became an independent university, Cal Poly Pomona, in 1966.

Integration into the CSU system

[edit]

In 1960, control of Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and other state colleges was transferred to the newly formed CSU system. That same year, a plane crash killed 22 of the 48 people on board, including 16 Cal Poly football players.[20]

Authorized to offer Master of Science degrees in 1967, Cal Poly reorganized its curriculum from 1967 to 1970 into specialized schools: the School of Science and Math, the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the School of Architecture. In 1968, Cal Poly's FM radio station, KCPR, was launched as a senior project.

In 1971, the California State Legislature officially renamed the institution California Polytechnic State University. Since the 1970s, the university has seen steady enrollment growth and significant campus expansion.

Major donations and 21st century developments

[edit]

On May 3, 2017, Cal Poly received a $110 million gift from alumni William L. and Linda Frost, one of the largest donations ever made to public education in California.[21]

In 2024, the CSU system recommended integrating Cal Maritime with Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.[22]

Campus

Cal Poly has one of the largest college campuses in the United States, covering 9,178 acres and making it the second-largest land-holding university in California.[24][5] The property includes the main campus, two agricultural lands, and two sites in Santa Cruz County. The Swanton Pacific Ranch, a 3,200-acre ranch in Santa Cruz County, provides educational and research opportunities, encompassing rangeland, livestock, and forestry operations for the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences. It supports Cal Poly's “Learn by Doing” philosophy with an emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and laboratory experiments. University House serves as the university president's residence.

21st century construction

[edit]

In the summer of 2018, a dormitory-style student community was completed at the corner of Slack Street and Grand Avenue. This development includes seven 3- to 5-story concrete-framed freshman residence hall buildings with 1,475 beds and an adjacent four-level parking structure. Community spaces feature a café, community room, game room, mail room, welcome center, offices, and maintenance shop. Additional site improvements provide a large open space for activities and group events, volleyball and basketball courts, and outdoor gathering areas.[25]

The Warren J. Baker Center for Science and Mathematics was dedicated on November 1, 2013.[26] This $119 million, six-story building replaced the aging “spider” Science Building 52 with a new 189,000-square-foot structure.[27] It includes laboratories, classrooms, offices for the physics, chemistry, and soil science programs, and spaces for the Western Coatings Technologies Center and the Environmental Biotechnology Institute. The center also features Centennial Park, a landscaped central green area.

Commuting

[edit]

Campus parking is limited, with 2,892 general-purpose parking spaces, 3,492 dorm resident spaces, and a total of 8,648 parking spaces.[28] The Facilities Master Plan acknowledges that, despite adding more parking spots, the ratio of parking to students will decrease due to expected enrollment growth.[29] To address this, the plan emphasizes reducing demand for individual vehicle parking by constructing additional dorms and enhancing campus life. Cal Poly Commuter and Access Services has successfully promoted alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, with bus use more than doubling and bicycle use nearly quadrupling from 2002 to 2012.[30]

As of 2024, there are over 7,000 bike rack spaces and 252 secure bike lockers on campus. In 2019, approximately 57% of students and 33% of faculty/staff lived within five miles of campus, facilitating easy bike commutes.[31] The city's SLO Transit bus system provides service to and from campus. Cal Poly supports SLO Transit with funding from parking citation revenue, allowing faculty, staff, and students to ride for free.[31] The SLO Regional Transit Authority provides bus service throughout the county, with discounted passes available to the Cal Poly community.

Academics

[edit]

Colleges

[edit]

As of 2020, the university offers 65 bachelor's degrees, 39 master's degrees, 84 minors and 13 credentials in six colleges:[5]

Bachelor's projects

[edit]

All undergraduate students are required to complete a senior project, a capstone experience integrating theory and application from their undergraduate studies.[32] Projects may include design or construction experiences, experiments, self-guided studies or research projects, presentations, reports based on internships or co-ops, public portfolio displays, or performances.[33] These projects often lead to job offers or recognition. Notable examples include Punchd, acquired by Google, and Jamba Juice, inspired by a senior project idea.[34][35] The campus area known as ‘Architecture Graveyard’ hosts many senior projects, including experimental and unconventional structures.

Cal Poly requires students to declare a major upon applying, then admits the most competitive applicants for each major. Each major has a change of major plan, requiring certain classes and GPA (usually between 2.5 and 2.75). In some cases, students wishing to change majors transfer to other universities.

For Fall 2019 Cal Poly accepted 1,622 of 11,109 applicants as transfer students, a 14.6% acceptance rate.[40]
