Overview

Los Angeles pulses with creativity and innovation—from Hollywood studios to cutting-edge tech labs. That same energy fills Occidental College's beautiful campus, where students explore STEM through our summer programs in LA. Set on 120 acres in the LA hills, Occidental blends natural beauty with Mediterranean-style architecture, century-old oaks, and sweeping city views. After workshops, students explore quiet paths and outdoor spaces that make this world-class campus feel like home. You'll recognize landmarks like Gilman Fountain and Herrick Chapel from shows like Clueless, Beverly Hills 90210, and The Good Place—all filmed here. Occidental College champions creative thinking where ideas get tested, challenged, and brought to life—making it the perfect setting for our summer STEM programs.
