IGNITE YOUR PURPOSE
"Clarkson is such a supportive community! Everyone has patience and directs me to every possible resource there is on campus. You can tell they want you to succeed and do more than just get good grades."
- Ivy Dong '25, Chemistry“When I toured the campus, I just loved it so much, and ultimately the environment led me to choose Clarkson… So far it has been the best choice of my life. You have to stay on top of your work, but I have fun too and have made a lot of friends.”
- Emma LaBarge '25, Business Studies"I like how Clarkson has taught us how to be adaptive learners and problem solvers. While we may not always know the answer to what's in front of us, our program has equipped us to search, appraise, and implement the most reliable and valid information to facilitate evidence-based practice. The small class sizes and open-door policy of our faculty have fostered personal and professional relationships with my faculty and peers alike."
- Rick Valdes ‘24, Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)“As a Clarkson honors student, I was able to get started with gaining professional experience even before I started my first semester of college. It was clear that here, and only here, would I have a variety of professional experiences early on and throughout my undergraduate career.”
- Jack DiMeo ‘23, BS in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Honors Program“I chose to enroll in Clarkson's MAT program because of the long history of success by alumni. The small classroom environment allows for a more personalized educational experience, coupled with a resounding 100% job placement rate.”

Golden Knights ignite connections across fields, industries, and cultures at our three physical campus locations in New York State.
View Our LocationsMain Campus
Set within 640 wooded and waterfront acres, our main campus is where our college students experience everything Clarkson has to offer: residence halls, academic buildings, athletic facilities, state-of-the-art research centers, and more.
Beacon Institute
The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries is Clarkson’s Hudson Valley campus. This state-of-the-art technical facility just north of New York City serves as an introduction to the surrounding park and as a research institute striving to develop more sustainable water solutions that preserve estuaries and other freshwater ecosystems in the state and beyond.
Capital Region Campus
Close to many industries that rely on Clarkson's research and educational opportunities for employees, the Capital Region Campus is the headquarters for the Office of Graduate Admissions, which also supports graduate enrollment at the main campus in Potsdam, and offers both in-person and hybrid graduate and certificate programs.
