About the course

The Computer Science option gives students a strong grounding in the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of computing, provides an introduction to cutting-edge research in a variety of subfields of Computer Science, and prepares them to apply computational thinking to a diversity of applications in Computer Science and beyond. Our students and faculty strive to: 1) understand information and computation as intrinsic components of a broad array of natural and engineered systems, 2) tackle challenging and fundamental problems with the potential for long-term and real-world impact, 3) develop underlying theory, and 4) nurture collaboration between traditionally separate disciplines. Additional advanced coursework is organized around several tracks in which greater depth is obtained in topic areas such as Physical Implementation of Computations, Robust Modeling of Physical Systems, Systematic Design, Theory, Networks & Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, and Interdisciplinary Research. Students can also pursue computer science as a minor at Caltech. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
