At Cal Poly, tenure-line faculty are expected to establish an on-campus presence. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Ethnic Studies department emerged out of the Civil Rights movements in the United States. As such, its aim is to provide students with an understanding of the historical processes (that include: slavery, capitalism, genocide, colonialism, nativism, war, etc.) that have formed the United States as a nation-state and as an imagined community. The department specifically focuses on the differential impacts these large-scale historical, economic, and political phenomena have had on diverse communities within local, national, and global contexts but with a specific focus on the four, core racial/ethnic minoritized populations in the U.S.: Native Americans, African Americans, Latinas/xs, and Asian Americans. We also study the histories and legacies of cultural, economic, and political resistance to these oppressive forces and in the process highlight various movements for liberation. Overall, our department Ethnic Studies provides a relevant education-one that maintains a deep commitment to justice, equity, and positive social and institutional transformation.

College of Environmental Design The mission of the College of Environmental Design (ENV) is to provide an outstanding academic and professional learning experience within a multidisciplinary structure. Established in 1970, ENV's programs have guided creative excellence, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility with award-winning professional degree programs at: the undergraduate and graduate levels in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning; at the undergraduate level in Art History and Visual Communication Design; and at the graduate level in Regenerative Studies. Faculty research, professional, and creative activities support student learning through the Teacher-Scholar Model. Faculty are encouraged to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and promote their rich talent, expertise, and influence. We seek opportunities for engagement with practice in California, nationally and internationally. As we educate future design leaders, we have an obligation to ensure that all constituencies of those professions represent the diversity of California's population. Diversity is our strength. Department of Architecture The Department of Architecture (CPP ARC ) has two accredited degrees: the five-year B.Arch. program and the three-year M.Arch. program. These degrees focus on the integration of knowledge-based areas of the curriculum into the design studios. Since its inception in 1968, CPP ARC ’s mission has been to equip students with the necessary tools that will allow them to become responsible professionals, motivated by a sense of civic duty and engagement. An aspect of that mission speaks to an enduring commitment to supporting career readiness. We consider integrative design practices to be an essential part of preparing students for professional practice and licensure. Recognizing CPP’s unique urban location at the center of the Los Angeles basin, with an incredibly diverse population, which is undergoing a densifying suburban transformation and adding new transit infrastructure, our professional programs operate in a living laboratory where students and faculty can conduct timely research as well as develop innovative design ideas and working methods. The Department is committed to strengthening our focus areas in urban design, technology, professional practice, sustainability and resilience, healthcare and wellness, and historic preservation. CPP ARC supports the University’s teacher-scholar model, where faculty undertake intellectual, creative, and scholarly activities that contribute to both the faculty’s teaching and their creative/scholarly interests. The teacher-scholar model provides a platform for faculty to integrate their teaching, service, and scholarship, within the creative context of the region. The Department also owes its perspectives about the practice of architecture to the multicultural demographics of Southern California and the broad spectrum of creative opportunities found in the region.
