Nestled between the suburbs and mid-town Cleveland,
Case Western Reserve University is a nationally
recognized, independent university. Established in 1967 by the federation of Case Institute of
Technology (founded in 1880) and Western Reserve University (founded in 1826), the University is
composed of a College of Arts and Sciences, School of Graduate Studies, and professional schools of
applied social sciences, dentistry, engineering, law, management, medicine, and nursing.
The university attracts a diverse student body. Approximately 9,500 students are enrolled at
CWRU, 5,900 of whom are seeking graduate or professional degrees. Nearly 1,200 international
students representing over 80 different countries provide a contemporary, international
perspective.
Offering more than 60 academic and research fields and increasing numbers of interdisciplinary
combinations, the University stresses quality in its students, faculty, and programs. Twelve of
Case Western Reserve's faculty, former faculty, and alumni have been awarded Nobel prizes, and many
others are nationally recognized for their work.
Since 1990, the University has invested nearly $250 million in capital improvements as part of a
comprehensive campus master plan. Newly constructed facilities include the Richard F. Celeste
Biomedical Research Building, Kent Hale Smith Engineering and Science Building, Mandel School of
Applied Social Sciences, Geo. S. Dively Executive Education Center, Kelvin Smith Library, and Veale
Convocation, Recreation and Athletic Center (under construction). Renovations and additions have
modernized such structures as Adelbert Hall, the School of Law, and the Rockefeller Physics
Building.
