Set in the heart of Massachusetts, Clark University offers its students a broad and deep education based in the liberal arts, enabling them to address global challenges. With a wide variety of clubs and student organizations, Clark offers many opportunities to get involved, from the Asian Culture Society to The Scarlet (the school’s newspaper). The diverse student body at Clark allows students to socialize and collaborate with people from all over the world, from Belize to Malaysia to Serbia. Additionally, all undergraduate courses are taught by faculty members and with small class sizes, students receive individual attention from their professors.
Located the heart of Worcester (pronounced wis-ster), Clark is a stone's throw from many other colleges, museums, and a host of cultural and recreational events. Clark's motto of Challenge Convention. Change Our World, embodies the passion that Clark students bring to their studies and other activities. As the only institution of higher education in the US at which Sigmund Freud spoke, Clark has many students involved in the social sciences, including psychology, political science and sociology.
