California Institute of Technology (CalTech) is a private research university that had its beginnings as a preparatory and vocational school in 1891 and assumed its current name in 1920. It has a strong emphasis on science and engineering. CalTech is considered one of the most prestigious universities in the world thanks to its technological innovation through the years.
NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory is located on the CalTech campus. The university’s geophysical research is world-renowned along with its seismic study and mineral physics research.
Arguably the most important CalTech feature when choosing a university is that it is located in sunny California! Students can go surfing and then shop at Rodeo Drive in Hollywood. The price of a world-class education in such a beautiful environment remains comparable to other top-rated universities.
