　　 英文版介绍
　　 Clarkson University, formerly Clarkson College of Technology, is a private university located in rural Potsdam, New York. It was founded in 1896 and has an enrollment of about 3,000 students studying towards bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in each of its three schools: the School of Business, School of Arts & Sciences, and the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering.
　　 Clarkson participates in student exchange programs with many schools in Europe and Australia. One example is the University of Lester in the UK where students who are studying engineering come to Clarkson for a year as part of one of the exchange programs.
　　 Programs
　　 Clarkson University is home to the Center for Advanced Materials Processing （CAMP）. CAMP at Clarkson University is dedicated to developing Clarkson's research and educational programs in high-technology materials processing. CAMP's mandate is to develop innovations in advanced materials processing and to transfer this technology to business and industry. The center receives support from the New York State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research for research and operating expenses as one of 14 Centers for Advanced Technology （CATs）. In addition, CAMP-related work receives several million dollars each year from the federal government and private industry.
　　 Clarkson's 16 （Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design） teams allow students across all majors to participate in hands on, extracurricular projects. These SPEED teams attend competitions all over the globe with other universities to test their designs and push the bounds of engineering design.
　　 In 2007, U.S. News & World Report’s annual America’s Best Colleges issue ranked Clarkson among the 127 best colleges. Its undergraduate engineering program was recognized as one of the "Best Engineering Programs" whose highest degree is a doctorate. In addition, U.S. News rated Clarkson's School of Business’ Supply Chain Management program the 10th best in the nation.
　　 In 2007, Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine ranked Clarkson University's undergraduate business program in innovation and entrepreneurship #22 among 700 U.S. higher educational institutions.
　　 U.S. News ranks Clarkson 25th overall in Environmental Engineering 49th in Civil Engineering 82nd in Mechanical Engineering 135th in Chemistry and 147th in Physical Therapy To determine the best graduate schools, U.S. News reviews post-graduate programs at more than 1,200 universities. Rankings are based on expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of the school's faculty, research and students. Clarkson is the eighth smallest of nationally ranked research universities in the United States.
　　 As much as Clarkson prides itself as a teaching school, it encourages its faculty to conduct research even more. The emphasis on research is so high that the 2007 Faculty Scholarly Productivity （FSP） Index ranks Clarkson seventh in the nation among small research universities.
　　 The Clarkson School
　　 The Clarkson School, a special division of Clarkson University, was founded in 1978 as a unique educational opportunity. The School offers students an early entrance opportunity into college, replacing the typical senior year of high school with a year of college. It is one of few college early admission programs in the country that provides a real community living/learning experience on a university campus.
　　 The Clarkson School's Bridging Year is a "bridging year" between high school and college for students who are ready to enter college early. Every year 50 to 80 11th grade students are accepted to The Clarkson School, where they work towards a GED and take college classes. They may also work with their high schools to complete a high school diploma. After they complete the program, they are given the option to enter Clarkson University with all credits from the previous year.
　　 Students in The Clarkson School are fully matriculated undergraduates with freshman status at the University. They take classes with other University students and usually carry a course load of 15 to 18 credits per semester for two semesters. College credits may also be given for college and Advanced Placement courses taken bore entering The Clarkson School. Cross-registration at neighboring area colleges and universities can provide additional college credits, particularly in art, music and languages. These credits also appear on an official Clarkson University transcript.
　　 The Clarkson School students are housed in Farrisee House in Price Hall and the typical class size is about 50 students.
　　 The Campus
　　 Clarkson has two distinct campuses, the "downtown" campus and the "hill" campus. During the last 20 years Clarkson has developed almost exclusively on the hill campus. Most students never need to visit the downtown campus since everything a student needs is contained on the hill, excluding the campus store. The last student dormitory （Congdon） located on the downtown campus closed in May 2006. The only buildings remaining in Clarkson’s service at the downtown campus are a few administration buildings, the Army and Air Force ROTC houses, as well as the Pre-PT （Physical Therapy） program. Most other downtown campus buildings have been leased or sold.
　　 PC Magazine and The Princeton Review ranked Clarkson among the top-20 wired colleges in the nation for 2007.[citation needed] “The Top Wired Colleges” honors colleges with the most comprehensive—in terms of size, scope and quality—computing and technology offerings.
　　 The 2007 Princeton Review considers Clarkson to be one of “Best Northeastern Colleges”。

　　 Applied CS Labs - The Applied Computer Science Labs at Clarkson University consist of the Clarkson Open Source Institute, the Internet Teaching Lab, and the Virtual Reality Lab. These labs, which are part of the Computer Science department, are almost entirely student-run, offering the opportunity to gain experience in managing both facilities and projects. All three labs are located on the 3rd floor of the Science Center in rooms SC334 and SC336.
　　 ROTC
　　 Clarkson Army ROTC is an organization that allows students to experience what a soldier in the United States Army does. Cadets participate in various activities ranging from the rivalry games of soccer, hockey and basketball, with the Air Force for "The Boot", a trophy to the victor of two or more of the games, to the Dining Out, a formal Ball.
