The Clarkson Difference:  New Times. Fresh Thinkers.

We are different.  Why?  For starters, it's in our genes. Our university culture encourages spanning boundaries, innovation and pushing the status quo.  To our faculty and students, business means integration, globalization and most importantly, change.  We defy convention by blending traditional disciplines into powerful combinations that give you greater breadth and deep cross training of skills that will carry you for life.  Our students successfully compete for the best jobs right out of college and parlay their experiences into careers that are leading the next generation of business.   One in seven alumni is already a CEO or senior executive of a company.  What makes our undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs unique?  Here a just a few reasons....

1. A dynamic curriculum: What we teach is built in consultation with major international employers and delivered by talented, well-trained faculty that are experts in their fields.

2. A global perspective:  You can't be an effective manager today without a truly international mindset.  All undergraduate students are required to have an international experience, all MBAs have the option to have a global business experience, and our executive programs are all designed with international perspectives by faculty with international business experience. 

3. Interdisciplinary thinking:  Our undergraduates all learn SAP as both a business tool and as a mechanism to clearly understand how the different disciplines, such as marketing, accounting, manufacturing, and human resources have to integrate for great performance.  Our MBAs take an integrated set of core modules, and our executives are taught using cross-disciplinary problem-solving tools.

4. Hands-on learning opportunities:  From first-year students actually running real businesses, to MBAs working on real consulting projects for real clients, to executives using cutting edge simulations to solve real problems, our students learn-by-doing.  It's a better way to learn, period.
