Experience a Vibrant Summer Beyond the Classroom
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.
Whether looking to complete required courses—from accounting to zymurgy—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. Students have opportunities to conduct research in the summer—explore how to get started through the Office of Undergraduate Research.
But summer at CWRU isn’t just about hitting the books; it’s also a chance to enjoy everything Cleveland has to offer. The Office of Student Affairs provides students with free access to many of the area's most interesting museums and cultural institutions, along with opportunities to participate in community service. The university also hosts 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.
