Hands-on research, personalized advising and experiential learning are at the center of the Clarkson experience. You will gain the tools to be a problem-solver, an innovator and a leader in your field.
Coulter School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
To build entrepreneurial competence and learn how to forge relationships across disciplines, our engineering programs provide opportunities for every student to do hands on projects at the intersections of science, engineering, technology, arts and business.
Institute for Sustainable Environment
The interdisciplinary Institute for a Sustainable Environment (ISE) is a hub for faculty and students from all disciplines. We offer an unparalleled diversity of perspectives and expertise to drive campus-wide environmental education, sustainability efforts and collaborative research initiatives.
Lewis School of Health & Life Sciences
Superbly educated and trained healthcare professionals are in constant demand, especially in communities outside urban centers — and Clarkson’s Earl R. and Barbara D. Lewis School of Health & Life Sciences is meeting that demand for quality rural healthcare.
We are a national leader in preparing graduates to meet rural and distance-challenged healthcare needs through a growing portfolio of programs that advance careers, research and innovation.
One of the reasons why Clarkson’s David D. Reh School of Business is lauded as one of the best business schools in the nation is because we are different—in a good way. Our undergraduate business programs and graduate business programs stand out because we design curricula and experiences outside the classroom in partnership with business leaders and proven entrepreneurs, to meet the targeted needs of the world’s most innovative companies.
I made the decision to come to Clarkson because I liked how environmentally friendly the campus is. I am an environmental science and policy major so that is something that was important to me. It was a little scary moving 6 hours away from home but I quickly made friends on campus. We even started a tradition of having “family” dinners at Robro as often as possible. I also found family in the women’s club rugby team. I joined this past spring semester and everyone has been so supportive and helpful and we all have a lot of fun together. So even though it was a scary change at first, the Clarkson community made it easy to adjust and find my place on campus.
