Visit campus or connect virtually

As much as you can learn about Caltech online, you'll learn so much more in person. Feel the buzz on campus. Chat with current students. Connect with faculty. Take a peek at the residence halls. And more than anything, sit back and take it all in.

If you're a current high school or college student planning to apply to Caltech, join us in person for a campus visit.

Can't make it to campus just yet? Check out our virtual tour. In addition to the virtual tour, we have other virtual visit opportunities for you to get a glimpse of Caltech from anywhere in the world! If you're early in the college search process, start by requesting information. Already on our mailing list? We recommend registering for an online information session. If you'd like to learn more about Caltech through our students, register for a Techer Talk webinar.

Focused outreach events

Caltech Summer Preview: Women in STEM

Women in STEM 2023 was open to all students who are graduating in 2024 or 2025. The program will focus on the experiences of students whose gender identify has been historically underrepresented in STEM, particularly those who identify as female, non-binary, and/or gender expansive. We recognize that our students' lived experiences and gender identities may intersect with their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, geography, immigration status, and more.

Women in STEM 2023 took place August 2-4. The deadline to apply for this year's program has passed. The application for next year's program will be available in Spring 2024.

The application for Caltech Up Close 2023 is no longer available. Access information about the program and the application. The application for next year's program will be available in Spring 2024.
