Clark encourages students to embark on a study abroad experience, whether for a semester, a year, or a summer. Clark offers overseas programs in China, The Dominican Republic, England, France, Germany, Japan, Scotland, Spain and Namibia. Clark students can also participate in affiliated programs in Kenya, the Caribbean, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica and Canada. Clark's Henry J. Leir Center in Luxembourg provides students with the opportunity to participate in the May Term program, which takes place immediately after the conclusion of the spring semester. The May Term, which is taught mainly by Clark faculty members, consists of a four-week academic program especially suited for Luxembourg and its environment.
Several organizations allow students to become involved in activism and international issues.
USAS believes that university standards should be brought in-line with those of its students, who demand that their school's logo is emblazoned on clothing made in decent working conditions. The program provides skills relevant to career choices in governmental, non-governmental and international organizations working on development. This event is the largest, oldest, and most prestigious simulation of its kind. Douglas Little, dean of the College, feels it is imperative for college students to learn about differences in cultures. He believes Clark's campus environment and curriculum helps its students embrace diversity and appreciate the value of differences in each other and the world.
