Clarkson University

Clarkson University is a private research university with its main campus in Potsdam, New York, and additional graduate program and research facilities in the New York Capital Region and Beacon, New York. It was founded in 1896 and has an enrollment of about 4,300 students[1] studying toward bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in each of its schools or institutes: the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, the School of Arts & Sciences, the David D. Reh School of Business, the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering, and the Earl R. and Barbara D. Lewis School of Health Sciences. Clarkson’s size is its advantage by fostering leadership, networking and problem solving skills; and readily affording students and faculty the flexibility to stretch boundaries across traditional academic areas. Tuition is $53,100 per year. Potsdam is a small town, — a quintessential college town where life revolves around two universities but offers access to the majestic wilderness of the Adirondack Park just a few miles from campus. The high peaks, valleys, rivers, lakes, woods and wetlands are always awaiting you and your friends in a natural playground of six million acres If you're an outdoor enthusiast. For the urban oriented, head north to Canada. Ottawa, the capital, and Montreal, a city that feels more European than North American, are less than two hours away.
