About The Position

Pomona is one of three polytechnic universities in the 22-campus California
State University system and among 12 such institutions nationwide. Since its
founding in 1938, Cal Poly Pomona students participate in an integrative
experiential learning education that is inclusive, relevant, and values diverse
perspectives and experiences. With a variety of degree programs in the arts,
humanities, sciences, engineering, and professional disciplines, the university
is well known for its learn- by-doing approach and Teacher Scholar Model.

The university is noted for its scenic and historic 1,400-acre campus, which was
once the winter ranch of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg. We acknowledge that Cal
Poly Pomona resides on the territorial and homelands of the Tongva and Tataavium
people who are the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar. The university’s
nearly 30,000 students are taught and mentored by the campus’s more than 1,400
faculty as part of 54 baccalaureate and 29 master’s degree programs, 11
credential and certificate programs, and a doctorate in educational leadership.

Cal Poly Pomona's College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences (CLASS) brings
to life a vibrant hands-on experience through disciplines in the humanities,
performing arts, and social sciences. As the heart and soul of the campus, the
College’s mission is to cultivate one’s intellectual development, ethical
reasoning, and aesthetic sensibility to support creative and critical thinking
in a dynamic world of competing challenges. We are a community diverse in
backgrounds, expertise, and thought, committed to improving the human condition
and to bettering the world. Our faculty, students, and staff are devoted to
creating an inclusive environment where all can thrive through the College's
programs, research activities, creative performances, community outreach, and
signature experiences. Learn more about CLASS and our 12 distinct departments

The History Department at Cal Poly Pomona was one of the earliest pioneers
across the country in emphasizing global history. Our B.A. and M.A. students
take a wide range of courses that help them develop broad content knowledge, and
that provide hands-on training in historical research. Our undergraduate majors
write a capstone senior thesis based on original primary and secondary source
research; they also take at least one class in digital research methods that
encompasses everything from large text analysis to mapping to web design and
podcasting. The faculty members in the department include experts in the history
of the United States (including California), the ancient and modern
Mediterranean and Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, Latin America, Africa, and
Europe. Beyond topical courses, faculty members also teach innovative thematic
classes on the histories of transportation, nonviolence, science, capitalism,
and sports and leisure, among other subjects.
