Each program is customized to fit the learning needs and interests of the participants, using the resources available at Cal Poly Pomona, a comprehensive university uniquely situated close to all that Southern California has to offer.

Program size may range from small groups of six to eight students to any number -- and for the length of time best suited to meet achievable academic and experiential goals. International short-term program participants may attend with B-1, F-1, or J-1 visas, depending on program specifics.

To send a short-term group to CPELI, you will work with the Program Manager.
