Clark University is a private research university located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1887, it is known for its emphasis on interdisciplinary education and small class sizes.
Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, Clark operates as a private institution, relying on tuition, donations, and endowments. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs across various fields, including psychology, geography, and environmental science.
As a private university, Clark has greater autonomy in curriculum design and admissions policies, allowing it to maintain a distinctive academic focus and a close-knit campus community.
