A Caltech education is widely considered a specialized undergraduate experience for students seeking a highly rigorous STEM education. Prospective students who are seeking admissions information should be inclined to apply to a small, STEM-focused, research-intensive institution.
Is there life on Mars? (Okay, so that isn't answered on our website, but we have researchers who are contemplating this very question!)
Applicants should also be aware that Caltech does not consider or track demonstrated interest; nor do we track if a student has participated in an information session when evaluating a candidate for admissions.
Caltech Elements: Techer Talks
Our one-hour online ‘Techer Talks' will be led by Admission Ambassadors, who are current student representatives of Caltech Undergraduate Admissions. The session consists of a 10-minute presentation on student-life followed by a Q & A session with current students.
Due to the coronavirus, on-campus visits for prospective and admitted students have been suspended until further notice.
The Caltech Undergraduate Admissions Office regrets that it cannot accommodate visitors or offer campus tours in person at this time, but the health and safety of our community remains a top priority.
We advise that prospective and admitted students and their families refrain from visiting the Caltech campus. No in-person programming or activities are offered at this time.
