Case Western Reserve University

Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is a private research university in Cleveland, Ohio. Case Western Reserve was established after Western Reserve University—which was founded in 1826 and named for its location in the Connecticut Western Reserve—and Case Institute of Technology—which was founded in 1880 through the endowment of Leonard Case Jr.—formally federated in 1967. Case Western Reserve University comprises eight schools that offer more than 100 undergraduate programs and about 160 graduate and professional options across fields in STEM, medicine, arts, and the humanities. Notably, the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry, administered by the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, were respectively ranked 7th and 14th nationally for research activities and expenditures.In 2023, the university enrolled 12,266 students (6,186 undergraduate plus 6,080 graduate and professional) from all 50 states and 102 countries and employed more than 1,110 full-time faculty members. The university's athletic teams, Case Western Reserve Spartans, play in NCAA Division III as a founding member of the University Athletic Association. The Spartans compete in 10 men's and 9 women's varsity sports. Case Western Reserve University is a member of the Association of American Universities and is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity". According to the National Science Foundation, in 2019 the university had research and development (R&D) expenditures of $439 million, ranking it 20th among private institutions and 58th in the nation.Seventeen Nobel laureates are numbered among Case Western Reserve faculty or alumni, or one of its predecessors. The Michelson–Morley experiment disproving the existence of the "luminiferous aether" was conducted at Case Western in 1887, and Albert A. Michelson became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in science.
