中文概述

凯斯西储大学是一所在美国的私立研究大学,位于俄亥俄州的克里夫兰。该校成立于1967年,是凯斯理工学院(由慈善家伦纳德·凯斯创立于1880)及西储大学(在1826年创立于康涅狄格西部储备区)两校合并而成。因此,凯斯西储大学历史可远溯至1826年。该大学以其独特的传统、高质量的教育和积极进取的创新意识而被认定为美国最受欢迎的高等学府之一。

凯斯西储大学有九个学院组成,包括研究学院、文理学院、牙科学院、凯斯工程学院、法律学院、 魏德海管理学院、医学院、波尔顿护理学院和孟德尔社会应用科学院。其护理学院在全球享有盛名。最受欢迎本科专业:工程学、会计、生物、商务/市场营销、艺术/人文、物理学、健康科学。

凯斯西储大学里充斥着实习、就业、体验多元文化的机会。学校距离克里夫兰市中心仅仅5英里,近邻国家最好的艺术、音乐、历史和医学机构,是涉足医疗、生物技术科学的绝佳之地。此外,克里夫兰是美国最适合居住的城市之一。

在美国众多研究型大学中,凯斯西储大学的规模相对其他名校而言小了许多,不过"麻雀虽小,五脏俱全",这所"小而精"的大学在各领域的研究成果均相当亮眼,毫不逊色。创校至今曾出过16位诺贝尔奖得主,这为凯斯西储大学的学术研究水平提供了有力的佐证。其中迈克尔逊成为美国历史上第一位获得诺贝尔物理奖得主。
