California Institute of Technology

Mount Holyoke is one of a small number of liberal arts colleges with an agreement with the California Institute of Technology. The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) program is a little different from other dual-degree programs in engineering.  Admitted students attend Mount Holyoke for three years and then attend Caltech for their fourth and fifth years.  After successful completion of that program, students then receive their Mount Holyoke degree and their engineering degree from Caltech. In addition to submitting the MHC Application for a dual-degree in engineering, students apply directly to Caltech’s admission committee.

The MHC Engineering Scholarship is not available for Caltech. Currently, Caltech is able to meet the demonstrated financial need of all applicants who are US citizens or permanent residents. Unfortunately, Caltech does not provide aid for international students.
