- The California Institute of Technology Astronomy graduate program aims to prepare students for creative and productive careers in astrophysical research and to train the next generation of leaders in the field.
- While the vast majority of our graduate students come from undergraduate astronomy or physics programs, some arrive with related majors such as engineering.
- In addition to those admitted directly to Astronomy, students in Physics who have astrophysical interests may conduct research with Astronomy or Physics faculty.
- Conversely, Astronomy students may also take the opportunity to work with faculty in either department.
