Practical Applied Learning

Professor Teaching a class

Learn by Doing

The School of Professional Studies delivers an academic experience grounded in the professional world. We embrace Clark University’s belief in the power of leadership and effective practice, and integrate applied learning opportunities across all dimensions of our curriculum.

Our faculty is one of our greatest strengths: They’re not only talented educators who have taught at some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, but also working professionals fully immersed in their fields. They share insights from their professional lives in the classroom and work closely with their students to craft an educational experience that aligns with student goals, employer expectations, and marketplace trends. Our students graduate with relevant knowledge, excellent communication and analytical skills, and valuable experience gained from having already put their education into action in real-world contexts.

By earning a master’s degree in Public Administration, Professional Communication, Information Technology, Data Analytics, or Project Management from the School of Professional Studies, our students gain the preparation they need to achieve their career goals — whether in the public, private, or nonprofit  sectors.
