加州理工学院（California Institute of Technology），简称加州理工（Caltech），成立于1891年。学校本科招生名额为948人。加州理工以郊区为背景，校园面积124英亩。大学校历基于季度制。2020年U.S. News全美最佳学校排名第12名。学杂费54600美元。

California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is a private institution that was founded in 1891. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 948, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 124 acres. It utilizes a quarter-based academic calendar. California Institute of Technology's ranking in the 2020 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #12. Its tuition and fees are $54,600.

加州理工位于美国加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市（Pasadena），距离洛杉矶东北约11英里。校园有11栋学生住宅楼，是学校的“自治生活团体”，社会学术生活在此展开。住宅楼延续着加州理工令人钦佩的传统：由学生服务员提供晚餐。

Caltech, which focuses on science and engineering, is located in Pasadena, California, approximately 11 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Social and academic life at Caltech centers on 11 student residences and houses, which the school describes as "self-governing living groups." Student houses incorporate an admired Caltech tradition: dinners served by student waiters.

虽然只规定大一新生必须住校，但超过80%的学生会住上整整四年。加州理工“海狸队”有多支美国大学体育总会（NCAA）三级联盟球队，参与南加州大学校际运动会的比赛。学生生活中不可或缺的是荣誉守则，该守则规定：“加州理工学院的任何成员不得对其他成员实施不公平优势”。

Only freshmen are required to live on campus, but more than 80% of students remain in their house for all four years. The Caltech Beavers have a number of NCAA Division III teams that compete in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Integral to student life is the Honor Code, which dictates that "No member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the Caltech community."

除了本科学习，加州理工还提供工程和科学领域的顶级研究生课程，包括生物学、化学、计算机科学、地球科学、数学和物理学。在美国宇航局、美国国家科学基金会、美国卫生及公共服务部等机构的资助下，加州理工常年开展大量的研究工作。近90%的本科生在获得学位的同时参与研究。

In addition to its undergraduate studies, Caltech offers top graduate programs in engineering and areas of science including biology, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, mathematics and physics. Caltech produces a significant amount of research, receiving grants from institutions such as NASA, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Health and Human Services, among others. Close to 90% of undergraduate students participate in research while earning their degree.

加州理工学院与麻省理工学院（Massachusetts Institute of Technology）有着相互斗法、恶作剧的传统。麻省理工学院是另一所排名靠前的科技大学。英特尔（Intel）、康柏（Compaq）和Hotmail等公司都是由加州理工的校友创办。著名电影导演弗兰克·卡普拉（Frank Capra）也毕业于加州理工学院。

Caltech maintains a strong tradition of pranking with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, another top-ranked science and technology university. Companies such as Intel, Compaq and Hotmail were founded by Caltech alumni. Famous film director Frank Capra also graduated from Caltech.
