Overview
Clark College is a public community and technical college in Vancouver, Washington, at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way.
It awards seven degrees: the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts, Associate in Applied Science and Associate in Applied Technology, along with the Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science. Professional certificates in specialised fields are offered alongside the degrees.
Study is grouped into six areas: Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical, Business and Entrepreneurship, Creative and Communication Arts, Health Care and Biosciences, Public Service, Society and Education, and Science, Technology and Engineering. The college also runs a Basic Education for Adults department covering GED preparation, a high school diploma pathway and English as a Second Language.
Its nursing program is described as one of the oldest in the region, and the McClaskey Culinary Institute trains students for careers in cuisine management and baking and pastry arts.
Transfer-oriented associate degrees include the statewide Direct Transfer Agreement, which usually grants junior standing at participating Washington universities, while applied degrees aim at direct employment. Bachelor's programs are built to stack on an existing associate degree, so most students enter as juniors.
High school students can take college classes through Running Start and other dual-credit options, and international students are supported through a dedicated International Programs office.
