INTERDEPARTMENTAL AND CO-OP PROGRAMS

 

Interdepartmental Programs

Case Western Reserve University is one of the nation's premiere universities for the study of chemical-based sciences. In previous years, CASE  has ranked 3rd out of all colleges and universities in the nation in receipt of federal grants for chemical engineering, with grants to Macromolecular Science and Chemical Engineering departments summing nearly equally. CASE programs in Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science are also strong.

Interdepartmental programs, involving course sequences or minor and dual degrees, can be designed to best suit the student's needs and interests.
