Clarkson students care about what comes after college.

We believe in the power of professional experiences to accelerate their post-graduation success, so we require every student on campus to have at least one, usually through a co-op, internship or research project.

• Co-ops and internships can be secured with the help of our award-winning Career Center thanks to our vast network of companies, from Fortune 500 giants to innovative start-ups, to government organizations.
• Many students have multiple co-op and internship experiences during their time at Clarkson and often are offered full-time positions at the companies where they have their professional experience, so they are set for the working world even before their senior year begins.
• Unlike other universities, our 96% placement rate does not count just any old job, but careers in our students’ chosen career path.
