| With an outstanding faculty, including five Nobel laureates, and such off-campus facilities as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and W.M. Keck and Palomar observatories, the California Institute of Technology is one of the world’s preeminent institutions of science and engineering. At Caltech, 967 undergraduates, 1,208 graduate students, 294 professorial faculty, and other researchers investigate the most challenging problems in science and engineering. Students enjoy virtually unlimited research opportunities and close interaction with professors. Many go on to become key figures in academia, government, and industry.
Support from friends and alumni, dedicated gifts for pioneering research from foundations and individuals, and project-specific grants and contracts from corporations and government sustain Caltech, a private, independent university. Caltech and JPL are just seven miles apart in Pasadena, a vibrant, culturally rich city of 150,000 at the foot of the San Gabriel mountains. Caltech’s 124-acre campus is 10 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles and 27 miles from the ocean.
Theatre Arts is a unique program at Crescent Heights High School whose focus is on staging major performances. Students become trained in all areas of production. Students take the knowledge and experience gained in our school and work in University programs and professional settings. |
