“I chose Clarkson because of the individualized experience this campus offers. It’s not like larger schools where you feel like just a number. Since arriving, I became a tutor, and I’m doing research with a professor. This summer, I will start a co-op with Lockheed Martin in their Rotary Mission Systems department.”

Next Steps CREDIT EVALUATION

Once you’re accepted, a relevant academic department will review your previous coursework and decide how many credits you will need to complete your degree at Clarkson. The faculty member who completes this evaluation will determine how many credits will transfer into your chosen degree program and outline a suggested course schedule for your first semester. In most cases, credit evaluations are completed and sent out to transfer students within two weeks of acceptance.
