How Curriculum & Careers Works at Clark
Major Maps
Experiential major maps help students visualize and design their journeys at Clark and beyond.
POP Courses
Problems of Practice (POP) courses incorporate project-based learning, community-engaged learning, and ongoing reflection in order to examine an issue of consequence impacting a community, profession, or discipline.
Career Readiness Competencies
Clark has adapted the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ Career Readiness Competencies to develop our own working definitions of the eight foundational skills that prepare students for success in the workplace.
About Curriculum & Careers
Clark’s Curriculum and Careers Initiative seeks to strengthen the incorporation of career readiness in the undergraduate curriculum by working with faculty, academic departments, and students. Clark University has received generous financial support from external foundations to support elements of the Curriculum and Careers Initiative including the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Davis Educational Foundation.
