Cal Poly’s 2+2 program will expand to include liberal studies at Cuesta College and business administration at Allan Hancock College beginning in fall 2026, opening more degree options across the region, according to a Cal Poly press release. Cal Poly launched its first 2+2 pathway last year with a single sociology cohort at Allan Hancock College.
The expanded offerings aim to increase regional access to Cal Poly degrees by allowing students to complete lower-division coursework at partner colleges before finishing upper-division classes through Cal Poly. The model is designed to support local students, working adults and those who need flexible schedules by using evening classes taught in-person and online.
