"Challenge Convention, Change Our World" isn't just a motto at Clark University. It's a long tradition that our students and faculty continue in their work -- inside and outside the classroom -- every day. At Clark University, well-known among research universities, students and faculty are encouraged to follow their intellectual curiosity beyond the boundaries of traditional scholarship, to seek innovative solutions to real-world problems and to create positive change in the world through social action.

If you're interested in Massachusetts private colleges, consider this: Clark's vibrant intellectual environment is built upon three key "signatures" of a Clark education. Clark University students "Learn Through Inquiry," "Make a Difference" and "Experience Diverse Cultures." These signatures permeate campus life in many ways: through courses, independent projects, internships and other learning opportunities; through research and social action, both locally and globally; through interactions with the eclectic members of the Clark Community and study-abroad experiences. All of these signatures are supported and explored by Clark's faculty and staff, who are just as eclectic and involved as Clark students.

Following in the spirit of many Massachusetts private colleges, Clarkies strive to contribute something of value to the world in which we live -- it's one hallmark of a Clark education. So it's typical of Clark University students to be engaged in a variety projects that not only enhance their learning, but also make a difference in our local or global communities.

Clark students and faculty enjoy a spirited challenge on the field and court, as well as in the classroom. Athletics at Clark are aimed at meeting the full range of health and fitness needs of a diverse community. From topnotch varsity programs, to intramural teams, to general fitness and recreation opportunities, Clark has it all.
