Overview

Caltech is a world-renowned research and engineering institute that brings together some of the world's most brilliant minds and cutting-edge technology to answer basic scientific concerns and critical societal issues.

The California Institute of Technology was founded in 1891 as Throop University in Pasadena, California, and was renamed in 1920.

Caltech is a 124-acre campus in Pasadena, California, that is sustained entirely by private donations.
