Program Analysis
Cal Poly Pomona’s “learn-by-doing” philosophy is central to your strong earning potential in this field. You won’t just be in a lecture hall; you’ll gain practical experience at the university's own livestock units and agricultural facilities, which is a major advantage with employers. Your location is also key: you're on the edge of the massive Southern California urban market while still connected to the state's powerful agricultural industry, creating diverse job opportunities from zoo management to food production. This program sets you up for management-track roles in agribusiness or for competitive entry into graduate veterinary programs. To maximize your prospects, actively pursue internships with major California producers like Foster Farms or Harris Ranch, or with local veterinary clinics, to build a professional network before you even graduate.
