Students tell us they chose Clarkson College because of our reputation for quality teaching - so by graduation they are prepared for their first job or in an advanced role. We are proud that students and employees volunteer 12,000+ hours of service each year.

Students also tell us they appreciate the small class sizes. Our students pass their boards consistently above state and national averages. In fact, we publish our institutional outcomes on our website. Today, we graduate approximately 350 healthcare professionals annually.
