School Overview

We prepare students in business, education, health, science and the arts with a small student-to-faculty ratio (19 to 1) and nationally and internationally accredited programs. There also are internship and study abroad opportunities to broaden one’s horizons.

Students embrace learning at our scenic Clarion campus, which has evolved since its seminary beginnings in 1867; at our growing Clarion University — Venango campus located in Oil City; and through Clarion Online, which offers education from the comfort of one's own home.

Students are able to take advantage of these exciting educational opportunities through financial aid. Ninety-five percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. In addition to more than 100 academic programs, Clarion University students also enjoy enriching personal lives. With more than 130 student organizations, including academic, athletic, intramural, Greek, political, multicultural, service and special interest groups, students become unique individuals and leaders at Clarion.
