Coursework
Students study in their science or engineering option or in Economics if concentrating in Econ or BEM. In special cases may be possible to get permission for a student to take course in a related tripos when the student needs to fulfill a Caltech requirement. However, this is not guaranteed. Engineering students can take BEM-like (Business Economics and Management) courses due to special options offered by the Cambridge engineering department. Students in the Econ or BEM option can be admitted in the Cambridge Economics department.
Note: Students may not return to the U.S. during the term abroad.
