We emphasize teamwork in both formal and informal situations across the curriculum. Courses at Clarkson are rigorous, but our curricula are flexible. You can tailor your program to meet your personal interests and goals. Many undergraduates remain in Potsdam during the summer to work with faculty on special projects. Clarkson is a friendly campus with a supportive atmosphere.
Professors are accessible to students.
Teaching and advising receive high priority. Our program and campus are small and friendly, but there is serious and important work to be done here across the environmental spectrum. If our program draws its inspiration from any one source it is Aldo Leopold, a forester, ecologist, philospher, writer, and policy maker who is famous for his book, A Sand County Almanac . Leopold encourages us to develop a perspective of the natural world that includes a scientific understanding of its mechanisms, an awareness of its beauty, and an ethical relationship with all of its members.
