History
The College of Arts and Sciences can trace its origins to the founding of Western Reserve College in Hudson, Ohio in 1826. Western Reserve College resided about 26 miles to the southwest of Cleveland. In 1882 the College moved to Cleveland where it formed the basis of Western Reserve University. The College of Arts and Sciences was also influenced by Adelbert College, Flora Stone Mather College, and the Cleveland College. These three colleges were brought together in 1972 under the banner of Western Reserve College. The College of Arts and Sciences as it exists today came about as the result of the 1992 unification of the undergraduate and graduate programs with the research programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and those programs in the physical sciences.
