I believe they’re the same; Cal Poly = California Polytechnic Institute = Cal Tech.
Am I wrong?
Cal Tech usually means Pasadena (the setting of ‘Big Bang Theory’). Cal Poly is or used to be the ag school, located in San Luis Obispo.
Cal Poly has a horseshoeing school. I’m pretty sure Cal Tech does not.
Yep, you are wrong. The name Cal Poly applies only to
the two state universities, one in San Luis Obispo and
the other in Pomona. I am a second generation CP SLO
alum. There is no such college as California Polytechnic
Institute but there is a Cal Tech (or California Institute of
Technology) which is a high powered private college.
Some people consider it the MIT of the West but I don’t
know about that.
