Hello everyone, I'm considering applying to Caltech next year and was curious about how large the student population is. How many students are usually enrolled at Caltech, both undergraduate and graduate? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Caltech, short for California Institute of Technology, is a relatively small private university. As of the 2023-2024 academic year, there were approximately 1023 undergraduate students and around 1,440 graduate students enrolled at the university. This brings the total enrollment to a little under 2,500 students. Keep in mind that these numbers can vary slightly from year to year. Caltech's small size is well-regarded for fostering a close-knit community and providing students with more direct access to faculty and research opportunities. Good luck with your college search!
