We Saved You a Seat

Clarke is where you build your future with people who get you. Join game nights, book clubs, study groups, and stream movies with friends — all in a community built online from the start.

A Community Made for You

Most universities built their student life around a campus and then tried to make online students fit in later. Clarke was built for you from the beginning. Everything we do — from classes and clubs to hangouts and events — is designed for online students first.

You’ll join a small peer group in your first week that studies, creates, and grows together through every phase of your program. Outside of that, our Discord community is where most of the fun happens. You’ll find chat channels for study help, gaming, art, tech, and even pet photos. It’s where students hang out, share progress, and make friends who feel close even if they’re miles away.

Events That Bring Us Together

Clarke students know how to have fun. Every month we host virtual events like game nights, movie watch parties, and creative challenges. You might team up with other students for trivia night, join a book club that dives into tech fiction, or compete in a coding mini-jam.

And for those who live near each other, we help organize local meetups — coffee hangouts, study sessions, or coworking days. Whether online or in person, every event is built to help you connect, unwind, and belong.

Education for This Generation

Forget endless lectures, essays, and test prep. Clarke was built for how this generation learns — by doing, creating, and collaborating. Every project connects you with mentors who work in the field and peers who share your goals. You’ll tackle real-world challenges, get feedback that matters, and build the kind of skills that stick because you’ve lived them, not memorized them.

Your instructors aren’t career academics; they’re active industry professionals who guide you through the same tools, workflows, and challenges they use every day.

Learning That Fits Real Life

Online doesn’t mean isolated. It means flexible. Our programs are designed so you can balance classes, work, and life in a way that actually works. You can study from anywhere, collaborate across time zones, and still have time to rest, explore, and create.

Clarke isn’t an online extension of a campus — it’s a full community built for a digital world. You’ll meet new friends, grow as a professional, and join a network of people who are building the future together.
