Majors
The College of Business Administration (CBA) grants Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with the following seven concentrations.
- Accounting
- Computer Information Systems - Cal Poly Pomona's CIS program was established in 1969 and is the oldest business-oriented four-year degree program in the nation. Originally known as the Data Processing Department. This program was recognized as the "Best Four-Year CIS Degree Program" in 1988 by the Data Processing Management Association and currently has over 1,000 students. There is about a 50/50 mix of business (Accounting, Managerial Finance, International Business Management, and so on) and actual computing-related courses.
The CIS department maintains an active dialog with the industry that hires its graduates, integrating feedback into the curriculum. It has two "weed-out" courses that students of every track must pass with a C or better. CIS 305 is a database class which requires that students learn DML, DCL, and DDL; normalize data all the way through first, second, and third normal forms; work with queries that can be up to a page long and involve subqueries; and other tasks that can be challenging to master within the allotted ten weeks. CIS 328, IS Careers, is widely thought to be the toughest in the curriculum. The time spent focusing on actual IS careers is perhaps 50% of the course content. The rest is informed directly by feedback from the industry, and requires hundreds of pages of assignments to be turned in. Grading on these assignments is to very high standards. Public speaking, social networking, good business English, and career building are some of the areas of emphasis.
