At Clarkson, we welcome the opportunity to host your high school or community organization group visit and to give you a unique experience tailored to the needs of your students. Whether you're part of an Upward Bound program, a science class or a guidance counselor led group, our staff is here to create a memorable visit for all of your participants. All of our high group visits take place at our main campus in Potsdam, New York. Requests for visits to our Capital Region Campus in Schenectady, New York, can only be filled on a case-by-case basis.
A group visit typically includes:
- Taking a full or condensed tour of campus, led by one or more of our student admissions ambassadors.
- An overview of Clarkson University including information about our 50+ programs of study, study abroad opportunities, extracurricular offerings and so much more!
