the pomona campus claims it will launch a capital campaign, but it is so woefully behind SLO in almost every area and likely never again will be similar other than in name. yes, the types of programs are similar but for the most part that's as far as it goes. that said, engineering and architecture still offer solid degrees at pomona though not as highly ranked as at SLO.
All I got to say the school need to raise more money to make the education at Pomona better. There is so many changes that needs to be made around the Pomona campus. The school says they are making steps , but they are doing it at a slow pace. You would think living in LA it might be easier to raise money from business and wealthy donors of the school.
