Cal Poly fosters teaching, scholarship, and service in a learn-by-doing environment where students and faculty are partners in discovery. As a polytechnic university, Cal Poly promotes the application of theory to practice. As a comprehensive institution, Cal Poly provides a balanced education in the arts, sciences, and technology, while encouraging cross-disciplinary and co-curricular experiences. As an academic community, Cal Poly values free inquiry, cultural and intellectual diversity, mutual respect, civic engagement, and social and environmental responsibility. 

Founded in 1901 as a vocational high school, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) is now one of only two polytechnic universities in the California State University system.

Cal Poly has a highly competitive admissions selection process and currently has a student body of over 20,000.

Its students benefit from this practical emphasis, resulting in Cal Poly ranking as one the highest ROIs ("return on investment") among the nation's public universities. This return can be easily seen by the high rankings that the university receives: the Wall Street Journal ranked Cal Poly 22nd in the nation for business/economics and 18th in engineering when looking at the best new graduates to hire; U.S. News & World Report rated it "the best" for a public master's-level university; Forbes.com shows Cal Poly as the 3rd highest ranked public university in the country for alumni earnings; and it was one of only two California public institutions named in the Top 100 undergraduate business schools by Bloomberg's Businessweek.
