Undergraduate Admissions: Visit

Come visit us!

The energy of Clark’s incredible community is difficult to put into words. That’s why so many prospective students say that their on-campus visit gave them the best feel for Clark. After all, at the end of the college search, you’re most likely to pick the school that you connect with on a ‘gut’ level –and there’s no better way to do that than to come see us for yourself.

Clark University’s visit programs go beyond the typical college tours you might have experienced. We’ll connect you with our most valuable resource, our undergraduate students, who will share their honest, firsthand experiences and answer your questions about Clark. You won’t find any backwards-walking, script-reciting ‘tour guides’ here. You’ll also have an opportunity to sit in on a class or chat with a Clark student over lunch in the cafeteria.

Learn about our on-campus visit programs below, and then schedule your visit today. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Admissions Office directly.

Please note that all of our visit programs require an advance reservation. This allows us to prepare for your visit and match you with Clark students who share your interests and can give you a personalized experience.

If you can't make it to campus, check out our Virtual Tour and the links under the Clark Visits You tab.
