Iowa Western Community College

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.

With eight fields and twenty majors to choose from, you have a broad range of options for making a difference—quite possibly even before you graduate.

Iowa Western Community College Articulation Agreement

Clarkson College commits to maximizing the value of students' previous educational achievements. Through our articulation agreement with Iowa Western Community College (IWCC), we help community college students who seek to advance their education in health care fields.

This agreement helps to ensure that coursework completed at IWCC is recognized and applied towards a baccalaureate degree at Clarkson College. This process prevents the unnecessary duplication of courses.

What is an Articulation Agreement

An articulation agreement is a formal arrangement that facilitates community college students' transition to a four-year institution. The purpose is to help students who have completed their associate's degree complete a bachelor's without duplicate coursework. Thus, completing the program in less time.

The result is a simplified process that allows you to build on your previous work and get further along your path as a health care professional.
