The California Institute of Technology (branded as Caltech) [a] is a private research university in Pasadena, California.The university is responsible for many modern scientific advances and is among a small group of institutes of technology in the United States that are devoted to the instruction of pure and applied sciences.
In a milestone breakthrough, more than half of Caltech's incoming undergraduate class in the fall will be women for the first time in its 133-year history. The class of 113 women and 109 men comes ...
Coordinates: 34.138°N 118.125°W. Caltech's 124-acre (50 ha) primary campus is located in Pasadena, California, approximately 11 miles (18 km) northeast of downtown Los Angeles. It is within walking distance of Old Town Pasadena and the Pasadena Playhouse District and therefore the two locations are frequent getaways for Caltech students.
