Undergraduate Admissions
About 230 new freshmen and 10 to 15 new transfer students join Caltech each fall. Each new student is welcomed into a close-knit, collaborative community of nearly 1,000 undergraduate scholars who have demonstrated the highest level of academic excellence and share a strong interest in science, engineering, and technology.
Graduate Admissions
Caltech annually enrolls graduate students across 30 different academic programs, which span the natural, physical, and applied sciences, as well as engineering disciplines. Graduate work and research at Caltech, however, is inherently interdisciplinary so the 1,200 students pursuing a MS, PhD, or Engineer's degree often work across academic divisions and departments.
No member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the Caltech community.
