Great Graduate Programs! Sign Up for August 15 Info Session, Capital Region Campus
Come see what our campus is all about with a personalized visit (families welcome!). Interested in sitting in on a class, meeting a professor from your anticipated major or talking to an athletics coach? We've got you covered. Along with all of that, you'll also have the option to take a full tour of campus with a Clarkson student and to sit down with one of our admissions counselors so that you can ask all the admissions and financial aid questions you have.
Once you've applied and have been accepted to Clarkson, you'll also have the opportunity to stay overnight with one of our current students to get the full college experience.
Personalized visits are offered everyday except Sundays throughout the year and some federal holidays. To arrange a one-on-one visit, call 1-800-527-6577 or submit an online request.
