About the course

At the undergraduate level, the option offers the opportunity to pursue a Caltech BSc with a concentration of courses in the planetary sciences option and in related areas. For some students, a physics, astronomy, geology or chemistry emphasis is as good or better than a planetary science major, and it is possible to prepare well for graduate school without doing a planetary science major as an undergraduate. The Caltech PS concentration is flexible but provides a wide-ranging introduction to the field, and many students have the option of research during summers and occasionally during the academic year.
