About Cleveland


Cleveland is a great place to work and play, to attend school, and to participate in the community.  A dynamic center of industry, wealth, population and culture, Cleveland is affordable and accessible, while also offering a variety of advantages to the Weatherhead community.

Business features

With its prime location on the shore of Lake Erie, Cleveland is a thriving international port as well as home to 25 Fortune 1000 corporations, all leading international accounting firms, the fourth district Federal Reserve Bank, world-class health care organizations, and a flourishing entrepreneurial community.  Through Action Learning field projects, career development programs, and alumni connections, Weatherhead students frequently interact with Cleveland’s diverse management community, which spans the manufacturing, banking, health care, aerospace/defense, automotive, and consumer goods industries as well as the nonprofit sector.

Cultural attractions

The Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland Orchestra are at the heart of University Circle. The Cleveland Play House and Signstage Theater are both just minutes from campus. Playhouse Square, home to the four theaters - the Palace, State, Ohio, and Allen - makes downtown Cleveland the largest theater district between New York and Chicago.

Pro sports

If you can't live without professional sports teams, never fear. We've got it all - from the MLB Cleveland Indians to the NFL Cleveland Browns to the NBA Cavaliers. Even pro soccer (MISL Force) and hockey (IHL Barons) are on the roster.

Entertainment options

Cleveland is known for its Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Great Lakes Science Center, and Omnimax Theater. Cedar Point and the Pro Football Hall of Fame are only a short drive away.

Natural wonders


Get back to nature by exploring Lake Erie and its parks, beaches, and fishing piers. Cleveland also features a system of thirteen Metroparks, the Emerald Necklace, that circles the city with picnic areas, bike paths, hiking trails, and even a golf course or two. There's a Metroparks Zoo, too.

Shopping and dining


Shopping and dining experiences range from The Flats - a waterfront district of shops, clubs, and dining establishments on the east and west banks of the Cuyahoga River - to the historic gallery district of Ohio City to upscale shopping in Tower City Center, the Galleria, and Legacy Village.
