High School Students
Defy convention at Clarkson University. To defy convention is not just to confront. It is to challenge current boundaries, influence issues, and achieve results. It is a mind-set cherished by thinkers, doers, dreamers and believers who know the status quo is not all it's cracked up to be.
Virtually every major breakthrough in science, technology, commerce, medicine, engineering, music, art and education was because somebody … somewhere … believed in a better way.
Do you?
Welcome to Clarkson.
Clarkson students are motivated. They're focused. Curious. We believe education should prepare you for the way the world actually works--that your learning experience should be grounded in practical reality. That's because employers are looking for professionals who understand today's challenges as well as tomorrow's opportunities.
Yes, we work hard here. But at the end of the day-week-month-semester, you'll have achieved something meaningful. You'll have a resume with actual experience. And upon graduation, your work will take you way past the starting line.
Are you ready? Then check out our programs in arts & sciences, business, engineering, and the health sciences.
