Clark University’s schools and departments offer a wide range of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs, as well as professional certificates.

Arts and Sciences

Clark is anchored by a core of arts and sciences departments that include everything from biology to the visual and performing arts. Regardless of the discipline, Clark takes its students on a journey from theory to practice, classroom to the world. Clark students graduate with deeper critical thinking skills, a deeper understanding of other cultures and perspectives, and new ways of seeing and appreciating the natural world.
