Case Western Reserve University is one of the nation’s leading independent research universities, with programs that encompass the arts and sciences, engineering, the health sciences, law, management, and social work. Although its origins date to 1826, the university in its present form is the result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University.

The university offer nearly 95 undergraduate degree choices, about 135 graduate and professional options, and almost 140 dual-degree programs. Plus, it has more than 100 interdisciplinary academic and research centers and institutes that can provide students with just about any program of study and discovery they can imagine.

Cleveland often is hailed in the press as a hot new dining city, and it’s long been renowned for its arts scenes in neighborhoods such as Tremont, Ohio City and Collinwood. From African-American theater at Karamu House and indie concerts at the Beachland Ballroom to Friday-night polka-rock in Gordon Square and Saturday-morning shopping at the West Side Market, opportunities abound for busy life. Just minutes away from downtown, University Circle comprises 550 park-like acres in a vibrant urban environment. From the campus, students are just a short walk to some of Cleveland and University Circle’s most outstanding destinations.
