What Students Are Saying

It's supposed to be really tough, but definitely worth it. My dad works in the computer engineering industry and says his company adores Caltech graduates. I don't remember... but I think I was told that completing the Core curriculum alone at Caltech is equivalent to the coursework of a math major at Harvard? I really don't remember. In any case, despite its difficulty, there is one faculty member for every three students, so there's plenty of people around to help.

Caltech is a very challenging school, but worth the hard work.
