Clark University is a private research university and liberal arts college. Founded in 1887 by the industrialist Jonas Clark, it is the oldest institution founded as an all-graduate university. Clark was the second institution in the U.S. with Ph.D. programs. Clark now also educates undergraduates. Clark's geography program is the only one in North America to have a mountain range named for it, the Clark Mountains in Antarctica.

In recent years, Clark has received widespread media coverage for its "Fifth-Year Free" program. Under Clark's BA/MA program with the fifth year free, undergraduates who maintain a B+ average are eligible for tuition-free enrollment in its one-year graduate programs, meaning that they can get a Master of Arts degree for the cost of a bachelor's degree.
