The virtual Caltech experience
We can't wait to get to know you better, but right now it's time to get to know Caltech.
Learning everything you can will help you submit the strongest admissions application possible. But we want you to get to know us for other reasons.
Caltech is not for everyone. The work is intense. We're a small, tight-knit community. And we're really, really into science and research.
At Caltech, you're going to get a unique college experience. Attending an online information session or requesting information is a great way to see if we're a good match for each other. Note, Caltech does not consider or track demonstrated interest; nor do we track if a student has participated in a visit or information session when evaluating a candidate for admissions.
"Techer Talk" sessions
Join us online for a one-hour Techer Talk session hosted by a Caltech Admissions Ambassador. You’ll learn more about student life and have plenty of time to ask questions. View the virtual Techer Talk schedule online and reserve your spot today.
Online Information Session
Join an admissions officer for a live online information session on Wednesdays. Learn about the Caltech undergraduate experience, the application process, and ask your most pressing questions. Note: beginning in October, the format will change to an Admissions Officer Q&A where you’ll be able to ask follow-up questions to a pre-recorded Information Session sent to you to view in advance of the session. Feel free to listen in on the questions from other guests. You do not have to stay the whole time and can exit the session as soon as your question(s) are answered.
Virtual Tour
Can't visit us on campus? No problem! Experience Caltech through our virtual tour. Take a sneak peak into the lives of Techers. From their campus residences to the laboratories where cutting edge research happens.
