Clark Atlanta University Top Questions

my school is a Historic Black University so it strongly emphasis the african american culture.

its an hbcu, so it feels good to see other African Americans trying to better themselves and others around them.

This was the only Historically Black University I applied to. It was also the only school in the southern U.S. that I applied to. It was the most appealing to me, it seemed to cater more to my generation.

The people here have fun, it is not like other schools where faculty and students are separated, most students are on first name basis with the presidebnt of the school.

What's unique about Clark Atlanta University is its ability to cater to every student's needs. For instance, if a graduating senior applies to CAU with intentions of majoring in Physics, and no phyiscs program is offered, CAU will implement a new Physics cirriculum to cater to the student. If that doesn't work, the administration will create a partnership with a near by university, such as Spelman College or Morehouse College, so that the student can take major classes there but still obtain a degree from CAU.

My school is the same age as me! It was consolidated from Clark College and Atlanta University in 1988.

Clark Atlanta University is a large campus but has the atmosphere of a small campus. Everyone gets along well. The staff and the students have a great relationship and this helps the students academically and socially.

Nothing really. The feeling of an HBCU and the experience you get and being able to bond with people just like you.

The music program at clark was welcoming. Alot of the schools tried to intimidate you on the level of experience needed to be in their music program. When I went to audition for the professors at clark they made me feel as if I had already knew them. I felt at home and was no longer nervous. It was like singing infront of my family. I knew then that I had to be a part of this.

it's an hbcu...what could be better?! i loved being able to learn about black people and their attributions in the classroom for the first time in life.
