Caltech's Shift Towards Equitable Access

Caltech has been working towards providing equitable access to students by reevaluating their admissions policies and requirements. They have recognized the inequitable access to certain subjects like calculus, chemistry, and physics, which were previously necessary prerequisites. After realizing that some students were unable to take these classes due to various reasons, Caltech decided to shift their focus towards allowing students to showcase their mastery and competency in alternative ways. This decision was made after careful research and discussions with faculty members. By doing so, Caltech aims to ensure that students can express their academic abilities and potential, irrespective of their school's limitations or lack of resources.
