Our History

The College of Arts and Sciences is heir to 178 years of excellence in education. The origin of the present-day College of Arts and Sciences was the founding in 1826 of Western Reserve College, one of the nation's first private liberal arts colleges. The college today is a product of the federation in 1967 of Western Reserve University and Case Institute of Technology into Case Western Reserve University; the college model was reconstituted in 1993.

The legacy of the present-day College of Arts and Sciences can be traced through its distinguished predecessor institutions:

  • Adelbert College
  • Cleveland College
  • Flora Stone Mather College for Women
  • School of Graduate Studies
  • Western Reserve College
  • Western Reserve University
  • and
  • Math and science programs of Case Institute of Technology

For images of the historic buildings of the college's predecessors on campus today, see: http://www.case.edu/visit/tours/historical/index.html.

The college is grateful for the genius and generosity of our founders, such as Amasa Stone, Flora Stone Mather, Eliza Clark, Anna Harkness, Jeptha Wade, and Newton Baker.
