Case Western Reserve University has a strong undergraduate research culture, and math, science and pre-med students take part early and often.
In fact, for those studying math and science:
► 99% take part in experiential learning activities
► 88% pursue research or a creative endeavor
► 67% complete three or more experiential learning activities
Undergraduate research is so important to Case Western Reserve that the university has an entire office dedicated to it. The Undergraduate Research Office will help you learn about research and creative project opportunities, provide mentorship on the research process and assist with research funding. The office celebrates what students accomplish through their research each semester at the Intersections undergraduate poster session, where student researchers present their findings to the university community.
You don’t need to go far to do research. Conduct research and join research teams with faculty across CWRU including at the School of Medicine, and with medical and cultural institutions located in University Circle, just steps from campus. (Want to go farther for research? The Undergraduate Research Office and CWRU’s Office of Education Abroad can help you explore structured Research Abroad programs.)
After graduation, 96% of CWRU math and science students are in graduate school, employed full time or otherwise pursuing career interests—outcomes they were exceptionally prepared for because of the hands-on learning opportunities available at Case Western Reserve.
