The format provides personal contact with faculty and classmates – a hallmark of a Clarke education – while maximizing individual flexibility.

Several areas of study are offered in the Timesaver format including undergraduate degrees in business administration, communication, computer information systems, psychology, religious studies, RN-to-BSN nursing, supervision and leadership, and information technology.
