Cal Poly Pomona vs Cal State Fullerton

Hi I was accepted to both for business administration. Marketing specifically. And I am having a hard time choosing between the two. I live a drivable distance between the two so money will be the same. I know both college aren’t really prestigious. But of the two which carries the better name? Any input would be amazing

CSUF business certainly has a strong presence here in OC. CPP has more an engineering reputation than a business reputation, but I’m sure the CPP business students do well also.

With the school being 15 miles apart (bumper to bumper on the 57…), I’d visit the business schools and see which vibe I like better. Find out about employment statistics for the most recent graduating class at each school. If you feel you can shine at CPP, then go there. Good luck!

thanks for the insight!
so your saying I should go with CPP???

Not exactly. I’m saying to investigate further, but IF you decide you like CPP over CSUF, then go with CPP. If possible, go visit the business school at each and ask about placement of recent marketing grads.

Fullerton is better known for a strong Biz program but, if CPP feels more like home, there is no harm in heading that direction. Spend some time on both campuses, talk to some current students and see where you think you fit.

Most college students change their major more than once so, odds are, you won’t graduate with a marketing major. Both schools have strong and broad reputations so, there is no wrong choice.
