Search for the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
Pomona, CA

California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona or CPP) seeks a strategic, collaborative, and experienced leader to serve as the next Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs (Provost). The Provost is the chief academic officer of the University, overseeing all academic programs, including instruction and research. The incoming Provost will join CPP at a time of significant momentum as the campus strategically advances its work as an innovative and inclusive polytechnic institution. Leveraging the University's numerous successes and institutional assets—including robust enrollment demand, affordable, high-quality educational programs rooted in the philosophy of “learning by doing,” and an unwavering dedication to student success, career readiness, and social mobility—the Provost will join President Soraya Coley and a mission-driven leadership team to shape CPP for years to come.

Cal Poly Pomona, one of three polytechnic universities in the 23-campus California State University system and among 11 such institutions nationwide, has offered a unique education steeped in experiential learning since its founding in 1938. With a variety of degree programs spanning arts, humanities, sciences, engineering, and professional disciplines, the University serves over 26,000 students who are taught and mentored by more than 1,700 faculty. The campus offers 56 baccalaureate, 32 master's degree programs, 11 credential and certificate programs, and a doctoral program in educational leadership across nine colleges.

Cal Poly Pomona has consistently ranked as the No. 1 polytechnic university in the nation for promoting social mobility for ten consecutive years. Additionally, the University is a Hispanic-Serving Institution and was placed among the top 25 institutions in the country in awarding bachelor's degrees to underrepresented students by Diverse Issues in Higher Education. The University takes pride in its No. 2 position in the U.S. News and World Report rankings of top public regional universities in the West and its recognition as the No. 15 best-value college in the nation by Money Magazine. While each ranking is a snapshot of achievement, taken collectively, they provide a picture of an institution whose students graduate with the skills needed to succeed in a dynamic and evolving work environment. These successes are similarly marked by CPP's accrediting body, WSCUC, which awarded a maximum 10-year reaffirmation of accreditation in 2020 and a successful mid-cycle review in 2023-24. For more information about the University, please visit www.cpp.edu

Given this context, the successful candidate for the Provost position must demonstrate a strong track record as both a successful faculty member and an experienced institutional leader, possessing the academic, financial, operational, and strategic acumen necessary to provide collaborative and transparent leadership within the University community. The ideal candidate will hold an earned doctorate or terminal degree from an accredited institution and exhibit a distinguished record of teaching and scholarship, warranting appointment at Cal Poly Pomona at the level of full professor with tenure. Moreover, the candidate should have substantial and progressive academic management experience and a proven track record of success to help develop and advance an institutional plan to move CPP forward. The successful candidate must also demonstrate a steadfast commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion and have experience in fundraising activities to support the needs of Academic Affairs.

The salary range for this position is $310,000 - $330,000. Cal Poly Pomona also offers a comprehensive benefits package; more information is available at: https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/careers/benefits/Documents/employee-benefits-summary.pdf
