Can someone please clarify if Caltech is a private or a public institution? I'm trying to make a list of target colleges and their classifications. A little bit confused, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Caltech, short for California Institute of Technology, is a private research university located in Pasadena, California. As a private institution, it's funded through a combination of tuition, endowments, and private donations as opposed to being directly supported by state or federal funding. This information might be helpful as you continue to compile your list of potential colleges and their classifications. Good luck with your college search!
