Find yourself at the center of a science-intensive community

You already know that Case Western Reserve University is one of the best places in the nation to prepare for a career in science and medicine.

What you may not realize is just how much ground-breaking science is happening not only on our campus, but all around our city. Cleveland, Ohio (and our own University Circle neighborhood) is brimming with some of the most renowned hospitals and scientific institutions in the United States. 

That means you’ll have easy (and early) access for internships, research and shadowing at places like:

Cleveland Clinic* | a top-5 hospital (U.S. News & World Report)
University Hospitals* | home to Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, consistently recognized as one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals
MetroHealth Medical Center | a Level I Adult Trauma and Burn Center with more than 1 million visits each year
NASA Glenn Research Center | home to innovative technology that advances NASA missions in aeronautics and space exploration
Cleveland Museum of Natural History* | home to 5 million artifacts and specimens
Cleveland Botanical Garden* | connecting people with the immense value of trees and plants.


... and that’s just the short list!


At CWRU, you’ll not only learn in our impressively equipped classrooms and labs. You’ll put your knowledge to practice all around our science-intensive community.
