Aeronautics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

The Masters Degree Program in Aeronautics is a one year program that provides advanced training in the areas of aeronautics or aerospace beyond that covered in a four year undergraduate program. The program consists of a set of five core courses (see details below). There is no research requirement nor is a thesis required to obtain the degree.

Applied + Computational Mathematics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

Applied and Computational Mathematics Option The undergraduate option in applied and computational mathematics within the Computing & Mathematical Sciences department seeks to address the interests of those students who want to combine their basic studies in mathematics with considerable involvement in applications. This program is designed to give students a thorough training in fundamental computational and applied mathematics and to develop their research ability in a specific application field.

Applied and Computational Mathematics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

This program is designed to give students a thorough training in fundamental computational and applied mathematics and to develop their research ability in a specific application field. The fields of application include a wide range of areas such as fluid mechanics, materials science, and mathematical biology, and engineering applications such as image processing. Entering students should have a background in mathematics, physics, or engineering

Applied Mechanics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

The Applied Mechanics department was founded nearly five decades ago to focus on research and education in the areas of solid mechanics and dynamics. Current research is mainly in the area of dynamics, dealing with topics such as vibrations of structures and machinery, structural response to earthquakes, including system identification and control of the structural response, and fundamental studies of the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems.

Applied Physics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

The applied physics option is designed to extend knowledge of the principles of pure physics to the development of new technologies. Research in applied physics focuses primarily on problems of technological importance. The interdisciplinary nature of this option allows considerable flexibility in course work, training and individual research interests to enhance maximum breadth and depth.

Applied Physics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

Applied Physics at Caltech is built on the foundations of quantum mechanicstistical physics, electromagnetic theory, mechanics, and advanced mathematics. The comparatively small size of Caltech coupled with its great strength in both the pure sciences and engineering make it possible to have a faculty with a wide interest in the application of modern physics to technology, without losing close interaction with "pure subjects."

Astronomy

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

The undergraduate-level courses in astronomy and astrophysics, targeted at those majoring in astronomy, although there are a number of more generic courses that may be of interest to undergraduates in other areas.

Astrophysics

California Institute of Technology

Pasadena , United States

The Caltech 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.
