Cal Poly's Bailey College of Science and Mathematics is a unit of California Polytechnic State University focused on science, mathematics, and teacher preparation. Located in San Luis Obispo, California, the college embraces a Learn by Doing philosophy that connects academic work with hands-on research and real-world projects, from ocean-floor laser mapping to data analysis for active studies. Small class sizes and faculty-led labs foster close mentorship within a supportive atmosphere, part of a larger, selective university. The college offers degrees in biology, chemistry, kinesiology, physics, and mathematics and statistics, and houses the university's undergraduate Liberal Studies program for future teachers, along with the post-baccalaureate School of Education. Its target students are those pursuing STEM degrees and future educators who seek an education grounded in practical experimentation and mentorship, with an emphasis on preparing graduates for success in science, technology, math as well as related languages and the arts. In late 2025, the university announced the launch of an Artificial Intelligence Factory, a campus initiative to develop and train AI models on site and to provide partners with access to high-performance computing resources to address industry and community challenges.
