Each year, more than 23,000 top-tier students come to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Maritime Academy in Solano County to put knowledge into action, taking their learning outside the classroom as they prepare for careers in engineering, agriculture, science, business, humanities, maritime and the built environment. As Cal Poly's designated self-support unit, EPaCE works closely with its university, business, community, and international partners to provide access to Cal Poly's unique academic programs and educational resources.
