Hey, glad to hear you're interested in computer science. For the most specific information, it's always best to check directly with the source - in this case, Cal Poly Pomona's department of Computer Science. They might have more details on their current rankings and accolades.

However, to give you a general idea, as of recent years, their Computer Science program has been recognized as quite strong, especially when considering its hands-on approach and emphasis on applied learning. This learning style has been praised due to its effectiveness in preparing graduates for the workforce.

In terms of rankings, remember that they aren't the only indicator of a school's quality – different ranking publications use different criteria and weighting methods, so outcomes can vary widely between publications. What's more, the job prospects, learning style, curriculum, location, cost, and fit for you personally all come in to play, regardless of the ranking.

Also worth noting is the fact that Cal Poly Pomona has a well-respected engineering college overall, which indirectly can often benefit the affiliated Computer Science department by attracting more high-quality faculty and creating a strong community of technically-minded students. It's also situated in a region with a lot of tech opportunities for internships and jobs, which can often be just as important as the academics for your future career.

For comparisons, you may want to look at factors such as the average class size, the faculty to student ratio, the course offerings, and co-op/internship opportunities. Are there specific schools you're thinking of for comparison? The more details you provide, the more tailored the advice can be.

Remember when choosing a college to consider all aspects, not just rankings. The environment where you'll thrive the most may not necessarily be the highest ranked. Good luck with your decision-making process!
