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. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is now offering student-led, in-person tours in accordance with the City of Pasadena and Caltech's COVID-19 rules and regulations.

We also know not everyone can visit in person. If that's the case, start by requesting information. Already on our mailing list? We've got other ways to connect virtually. If you're early in the college search process, we highly recommend registering for one of our Techer Talk webinars.
