The Making Connections Program helps you to make the most of your first year at Clarion University. As part of a learning community of students and professors, you will take classes in a "cluster" of courses, all with a common interdisciplinary theme. You will explore that theme in each course, through coordinated readings, assignments, field trips and social activities. Community style learning is designed to enhance a student's learning experience and build bonds between students, faculty, and university disciplines.
The Making Connections Program can help you to:
-
Make a smooth transition to college life.

Share the excitement of learning in a community of students, faculty and staff who want you to succeed.
