Clarke offers group visits for schools and community groups. During a group visit, your group will have the opportunity to learn about Clarke and everything we offer – from academic programs and athletic opportunities to student life and clubs/organizations. During this visit, students will also learn how to apply to attend and take a tour of campus. If you are arranging a visit for a group with a particular interest, we can try to arrange a time to talk with program faculty as well. We are excited to invite you and your group to our welcoming community!
*Groups are typically defined as 3 or more students visiting campus with a chaperone.
When I first accepted, I didn’t know what Dubuque, Iowa was. I didn’t know what the weather looked like, I knew nothing. I just took that journey. My first day walking into class and seeing how small the classrooms were took the edge off of that unknown. I knew I could get one-on-one experience with professors and actually get some of my questions answered rather than sit in the back of a classroom with 100 or 200 students for a lecture.
My family is really important to me and Clarke is perfect for me because they are close, but not too close. I feel like I’ve been able to get to know everybody and feel really at home on campus. I can go to a game or go to an event on campus, and I will find friends there.
Something brought me here. Yes, I came for football, but I’ve stayed for the relationships. You get a top-notch education, amazing people, and powerful connections. It’s a unique place and I am fortunate to be here.
I had never heard of Clarke, but once I visited, I found connections everywhere. It always seemed like someone had a sister or friend who had come here. When comparing it to other schools, I just kept coming back to this sense that Clarke was right, it felt like home.
