One of the things I love about Caltech is that students, postdocs, and faculty interact all the time. People are present and engaged, with an openness and curiosity to learn from one another. It’s really special.

A small school isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who want opportunities to get involved and make a difference—and I want to help make sure that all students feel like this is the place where they can do that.
Why is easy: You can research with Nobel Prize winners, live in L.A., and see what happens when your curiosity is cultivated. But why not is just as important—because before you get in, you should know what you’re getting into.
Our Techer Talks give you a chance to meet students and ask questions. Want to learn more from an admissions officer? Register for a virtual information session. (We're Caltech. Of course you can do this online.) Want to check out campus in person? Join us for a tour or information session. It's the best way to see what we're about.
The best boba, the worst classes: Hear it from Techers, uncensored, in these blogs. Read about everything from researching in the Galapagos to what happens here on the weekend (more than studying, we promise).
