Case Western Reserve University

Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, was formed in 1967 when the Case Institute of Technology merged with Western Reserve University. Its University Circle location puts students steps from the Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance Hall and major hospitals like the Cleveland Clinic, which makes it a magnet for pre-med and biomedical students. Engineering, nursing and management are standouts. It is a smart fit if you want research opportunities on a manageable-size campus with a major city nearby.
