Over of university-owned land are available for pastures, crops, groves, and ornamental plantings. The university shares with the University of California, Riverside, the distinction of having the only agriculture programs in Southern California. Farmlands flank the campus, giving a stark contrast to a stereotypical urban university. College of Business Administration: Cal Poly Pomona is one of the 500 institutions worldwide that are accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) at both graduate and undergraduate levels. College of Education and Integrative Studies. College of Engineering: The College of Engineering has the largest engineering and computer science programs in California. The college was established in 1957 and has an active enrollment of 4,500 students in seven academic departments. The college graduates one of every fourteen engineers in the state. Each year, nearly 700 engineers obtain degrees in the various disciplines. Cal Poly Pomona has the second largest civil engineering department in the United States (after Texas A&M University in College Station) with over 1,000 undergraduates enrolled in that major alone. In 2010, the Cal Poly Pomona's College of Engineering was ranked 5th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report based on peer assessment, student selectivity, financial resources, and other factors in the “Universities-Master’s” category for public universities. The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering was formed in 1972 and is accredited by ABET, Inc. (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) and by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). College of Environmental Design: The planning programs at Cal Poly Pomona evolved from the undergraduate landscape architecture program that originally was part of the School of Agriculture. After approval of the creation of a new School of Environmental Design, the landscape and urban planning programs moved into their current building in January 1971. The Department of Urban Planning was created and soon after a Department of Architecture. Department of Urban Planning was renamed "Department of Urban and Regional Planning" in 1983 to reflect an expanded program. The School was renamed the "College of Environmental Design" in 1988. The Department of Art was transferred to Environmental Design from the College of Arts in 1992. Cal Poly Pomona is one of four NAAB-accredited public architecture universities in California along with California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo), University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The Architecture undergraduate program was ranked 15th nationally by the journal DesignIntelligence in 2008 in its annual edition of "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools." Unlike rankings for other programs which compare Cal Poly Pomona to other masters universities, DesignIntelligence ranked all national and research universities. In 2002 the department admitted 15 percent of undergraduate applicants,Architectural Record - Guide to Architectural Education and as of 2006, the department received nearly 2,000 applicants for just 100 spots making it the most selective program of the university. College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences: The College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences (C.L.A.S.S.) provides academic work in more than 20 degree and certificate programs. College of Science: The College of Science offers majors in nine fields leading to bachelor of science degree.
Extension program
