Unique Academic Programs Clarke programs stand apart because we are highly involved in the community, whether is it Computer Science and Digital Media Studies students creating promotional items for businesses and nonprofits, or our Education majors working in local schools as early as their sophomore year through our Professional Development School. Plus, our 11 pre-professional programs and dual undergraduate/graduate credit options for Doctor of Physical Therapy, Master of Business Administration, and Master of Arts in Education allow students to earn advanced degrees on their timeline.
School Mascot Pride

Interesting Facts:
  • Mary Kenneth Keller, BVM was the first person in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in Computer Science. This pioneering woman founded Clarke’s Computer Science program and that legacy lives on in our innovative curriculum today.
  • Clarke offers unique laboratory experiences including a Nursing Simulation Lab, a Nutrition & Food Science Lab, and our medical-grade, 10-table Cadaver Lab. 
  • As a Catholic institution, community involvement is at the heart of all we do. It is woven into many of our courses and student organizations, with 100% of students reporting at least one volunteer activity during their time at Clarke.
