The Academic Advising Center offers general academic services to help you plan your academic program. Work with us to explore majors — or to design your own, develop strategies to overcome academic difficulties, and more. Students transferring into Clark will be supported by the Academic Advising Center throughout their first semester to ensure they connect quickly to the Clark community.
In your first year at Clark, you will be assigned a first year success advisor to help you select your courses. Once you declare your major, faculty within that academic department will coordinate your academic advising. However, you may continue to receive support from the Academic Advising Center. We are here for you.
What our students say
“One of the reasons I moved to Clark was to do this kind of teaching. At large universities, where you’re teaching large classes, you don’t get to bring your research into your teaching, or take your teaching out into the field as easily.”My adviser, John Magee, has helped me grow as a computer scientist and has helped me choose courses that would be a good fit for me.
—Jesus Robles Garcia ’19
Majors: Computer Science and Economics
“Denis Larochelle, my pre-health adviser, has helped me stay on track with classes necessary for medical school. He is a great resources for any of my medical school questions.
—Rylee Simons ’19
Major: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
“I feel so grateful to have been able to self-design my major, which is social and environmental justice. I have the flexibility to be an as interdisciplinary as possible, and I am supported by wonderful faculty.
—Emmye Vernet ’18
Major: Student-Designed
