Essential Questions. Ingenious Solutions.
We specialize in spanning boundaries across traditional disciplines. There are tremendous advantages to studying the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, computer science and mathematics in a technologically rich, entrepreneurial environment. Our graduates benefit from access to the diversity of disciplines in a comprehensive research university.
We believe these benefits give arts and sciences majors at Clarkson a leg up on traditional liberal arts school graduates. You will begin your career with a much broader background and network of peers
Clarkson's School of Arts & Sciences, with over 80 faculty, enrolls more than 500 undergraduates in more than a dozen degree programs leading to bachelor of science degrees. Our faculty and departments also span boundaries between disciplines, between education and the real world, and between the individual and society. Clarkson faculty are scholars focused on student success in a rigorous, challenging educational environment.
We also provide a strong education for those interested in careers in health and medicine, pre-law and pre-physical therapy. Our University Studies program allows students to investigate options during the freshman year, without declaring a major, and with guidance from the First-Year Advising Center. Our Science Studies program provides the same opportunity for those undecided about which discipline to pursue.
Consistent with Clarkson's mission of student-centered learning and leadership development, faculty and students engage in collaborative research and other hands-on projects in a technology-rich environment.
Programs focus on developing critical thinking abilities and communication skills, leading-edge knowledge, and depth of understanding, and on producing students who are well-prepared for careers, graduate education, and professional training.
