Clarkson College has not always been a college. Instead, we began in 1888 as a school of nursing—the first in the state of Nebraska. Over the last 125 years, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings and adopted a new name. All the while, we've maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care. This commitment to excellence has and always will remain a defining quality of Clarkson College.

Words of Wisdom

An extraordinary woman named Grace Hopper once said, "the most damaging phrase in the language is that it has always been done that way." I hope Clarkson College students advocate for change for the good of all people and act with kindness while doing it.
