Pomona College works towards fulfilling the mission of recruiting and admitting diverse groups of students to the College. Through our fly-in program, Perspectives on Pomona (POP), we offer prospective students insights into life at Pomona College, opportunities to learn and connect with our inspiring professors, and invitations to open discussions with current students. POP allows for the exploration of all the layers of Pomona's community and resources.
The College offers POP in the fall and spring semesters. In the fall, there is an additional option to experience Pomona’s campus through Virtual POP, an online version of the program.
While Fall POP is open to all seniors attending high school in the United States (U.S. citizens, undocumented/DACA students, and permanent residents), its programming is focused on furthering the academic journey of students who come from underrepresented groups, are first-generation or low-income, and whose identities are in other marginalized communities.
Information about applications for our Fall POP program will be available in May 2026.
Spring POP is an invite-only program for selected admitted students.
