^The Case Institute of Technology merged with Western Reserve University in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Lots of CIT engineers regretted the merger then and CWRU has always carried a heftier reputation in STEM (particularly engineering) than in arts & sciences. That is by no means implying that CWRU’s arts and sciences schools stink, it is across the board a great school. But it is kind of like Wharton/UPenn and Oberlin Conservatory/Oberlin College. One area of study kind of brightly outshines the others.
