We Confront Complex Challenges Creatively and Responsibly
The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) empowers change-makers. We train students to confront complex issues through real-world experiences and close faculty support. Our emphasis on interdisciplinary projects and research for both students and faculty, combined with our leadership in equity and inclusion programming, enriches the Learn by Doing experience for Cal Poly students from all colleges.
