Student Testimonials Angelica (Angie) Jarmin – Online Master of Science in Dietetics After obtaining her undergraduate degree at CPP, Angie Jarmin chose the Online Master of Science in Dietetics program to continue her studies. She particularly loves that the Online Master of Science in Dietetics program allows her to study at her own pace and works with her schedule. She currently works as a Clinical nutritionist at a hospital and is excited to utilize the knowledge and skills she’s gained from this program and put them into practice. Her goal is to have her own private practice as an RD one day.

Brandon A Rodriguez – MS Geology When Brandon Rodriguez chose the Master of Science in Geology program at Cal Poly Pomona, he knew that he needed to be in the field and in classrooms to really absorb the new material. “CPP provided the opportunity while still being supportive of my work schedule,” he said, adding that nearly every course had a field component. “It meant getting to really see the material in nature instead of just in a textbook.” Rodriguez currently works at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory as an Outreach and Professional Development Specialist for NASA Education. Upon graduating from the program, he plans to continue his role at NASA and Caltech where he is a chemist by trade and leads a small geochemistry project looking for chemical signatures of ancient asteroid impacts.

Jillian Panganiban – MS in Hospitality Management Jillian Panganiban graduated from the MS in Hospitality Management program in Spring 2024. While enrolled in the program, she concurrently served as a student assistant at CPGE. Knowing about the CPGE programs firsthand, she notes that she chose the MS in Hospitality Management program at CPP because of its accreditation and reputation as a top graduate program in the nation. When asked what she liked about the program she said that you not only learn from your professors, but also from your classmates. Now that she has graduated from the program, she will be working at the Marriott Vacation Club where she plans to do a manager-in-training program to further enhance her skills and continue to grow in the hospitality industry.

Anh Nguyen – MS in Business Analytics Anh Nguyen will finish the MS in Business Analytics program this summer. Reflecting on her time in the program she says that what impressed her about the MSBA program at CPP were “The projects students were working on and the success stories I read about from former students on the MSBA’s website.” When asked what she liked about the program, she said that one cool thing about the program was getting to work with Meta in her second semester.

Nguyen currently works as an Analytics Developer in a healthcare manufacturing company and notes that she hopes to strengthen the connection between her company and CPP to help MSBA students learn more about business and find good jobs.

Dean’s Message Larissa Preiser-Houy

Interim Dean, College of Professional and Global Education As the interim Dean of the College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE) at Cal Poly Pomona (CPP), I am pleased to share our progress and vision for the future. At the core of our mission is a deep commitment to lifelong learning—a belief that education is a continuous journey of growth and development that extends well beyond graduation.

As the strategic hub for professional, continuing, and global education at Cal Poly Pomona, CPGE plays a pivotal role in driving socio-economic growth and reinforcing the university’s standing as a leading polytechnic institution. Guided by the belief that learning is a lifelong journey, we are dedicated to creating innovative educational pathways that respond to market trends and the evolving needs of industry and community organizations. With a focus on enriching lives, advancing careers, and unlocking the full potential of every learner, we ensure that our efforts not only meet immediate educational needs but also foster long-term personal and professional growth.

This year, we have advanced our mission to empower career growth and foster lifelong learning through specialized programs tailored to the unique needs of a diverse community of non-traditional learners. Our polytechnic approach extends learning beyond the classroom, offering programs that combine hands-on experience with flexible modalities and schedules. Driven by innovation and a commitment to transformative impact, we foster partnerships at all levels—local, regional, national, and global—aligning our offerings with workforce demands and expanding mutually beneficial collaborations.

Whether through advanced degrees, professional development, Open University programs, or international offerings, our goal is to empower our students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s dynamic workforce.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on expanding access to transformative educational experiences. We are committed to building and strengthening strategic partnerships with industry, community, and global partners. Guided by our commitment to Innovate Locally and Impact Globally, CPGE will continue to be a catalyst for personal and professional growth, addressing the needs of diverse learners, communities, and the broader economy.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration on this exciting journey.

Together, we are shaping a future where inclusive polytechnic education is a powerful engine for growth, innovation, impact, and lasting success.

Looking Forward to Working Together
