Think Summer at CWRU

Summer offers the opportunity to get outside, enjoy warm weather and, for many Case Western Reserve University students, earn degree credit through unique and fundamental courses—including many offered at 50% off the regular credit hour price.*

Whether looking to complete required courses—from introductory chemistry to accounting—uncover the secrets of the universe or delve into ancient civilizations, students can choose from a wide selection of engaging summer courses offered both online and in person.

For those planning to stay on campus, convenient housing is available, and—for the first time—meal plans are now an option for summer 2025. Secure your housing for the summer, and learn more about meal plan options.

But summer at CWRU isn’t just about hitting the books; it’s also a chance to enjoy everything Cleveland has to offer. Picture yourself dancing to live music at Wade Oval Wednesdays, exploring the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which offers free Monday admission for Cuyahoga County residents, or participating in any number of community service opportunities. The university will also be hosting on-campus events, such as outdoor movie nights and yoga, karaoke at the Jolly Scholar, a summer concert series and more.

If nature is more your style, spend a day hiking the scenic trails at nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park. For a relaxing weekend, consider soaking up the sun at Edgewater Beach, browsing through unique artwork at the Cain Park Arts Festival, or grabbing fresh produce at the farmers market at University Hospitals.
