Questions?
We Have Answers
How is Clarke College different from traditional universities?
Clarke’s programs are built entirely around real-world experience. You’ll learn through hands-on projects, mentorship from professionals, and applied work in apprenticeships. The curriculum focuses on the technologies and workflows used in the field today, not abstract theory or unrelated electives. Every course is designed to move you closer to a career in tech.
Is the program entirely online?
Yes. Clarke's programs are fully online, but highly interactive, with mentors, peers, and project work built into every phase. You'll collaborate with mentors and peers through tools like Discord, live office hours, and study groups, with structured mentorship and feedback every step of the way.
How does Clarke’s accelerated pace work?
Clarke’s programs follow a sequential structure rather than the traditional semester model. Instead of taking multiple classes at once, students complete one course at a time, each lasting one to two months and building directly on the last. The program includes short breaks throughout the year but follows a year-round schedule, allowing you to stay focused and graduate faster.
If the program runs year-round, are there any breaks?
Yes. Clarke’s programs are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing students to manage their own pace while staying on track. Each academic year includes about five weeks of scheduled breaks, typically around major U.S. holidays. Students can also work ahead in some courses to take short breaks when needed. This schedule mirrors the rhythm of a professional environment rather than a traditional academic calendar, helping students transition smoothly from school to the workplace.
How do the apprenticeships work?
Clarke’s programs are built on the philosophy of applied learning through apprenticeships. We collaborate with nonprofit partners and employers to help connect each student with meaningful opportunities. The final decision always rests between you and the partner organization — Clarke facilitates introductions and matching, but does not directly place students.

Does Clarke accept international students?
Yes. International students are welcome to apply to Clarke College. However, our apprenticeship network is primarily based in the United States, and those opportunities require U.S. work authorization. While we can guide you on how to find apprenticeship options independently, we do not currently have international partners who can provide placement.
If English is not your primary language, you’ll need to verify English proficiency. Any required documentation not in English must include a certified English translation.
What are the hardware requirements?
We recommend that students have a laptop that was manufactured within the last 4 years and has 8GB+ of memory. While most of our students choose macOS, Windows and Linux are both supported as well.
