 y o uYou may already see clark as a small, urban, liberal arts-based research university that changes lives. our goal is to become one of the most innovative forces in higher education. Here, you will join a dynamic community that cares about you — who you are, what moves you and who you hope to become. You will gain a strong foundation in the liberal arts and make meaningful connections with your professors, and to delve deeply into the topics that matter to you most.

Come to Clark and you may find yourself conducting a literacy study in Worcester, exploring ecotourism in the Dominican Republic, or working on an archaeology site on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. We encourage our students to approach our city — and the world — as a living laboratory, where they can make discoveries firsthand as they work to solve the most pressing problems of the day.
