Union Station, Worcester’s train and bus hub.

The second-largest city in New England, Worcester is home to vibrant restaurant and music scenes, arts and sports venues, 9 colleges, a “pop-up” culture featuring concerts, exhibits, and food events, and job and internship opportunities in biotech, health care, business, and law. If you want to roam farther, it’s a short ride to Boston and Providence, and about three hours from New York.

OUR GOAL is to provide access and opportunity to a diverse community of students without regard to socio-economic status, race, gender, geography, or any other factor outside of their academic preparation, curiosity, motivation, and their willingness to be a positive contributor to the Clark Community. We seek students who can and will thrive at Clark and support them through a combination of need-based and merit-based financial support. Clark is an opportunity unlike any other, and we are committed to making Clark a realistic financial possibility and a sound financial investment for everyone admitted. —  Meredith Twombly, Vice President of Admissions & Financial Aid
