Clarkson College was founded in 1888 as Nebraska’s first school of nursing. Since then, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings, and adopted a new name. Our programs continue to evolve to meet the needs of the healthcare industry. We continue to remain focused on academic excellence and professional preparation.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources

Clarkson College has monitored and tracked COVID-19 campus cases since the Spring of 2020 for students, faculty, and staff to promote a safe and healthy campus. As of March 20, 2023, Clarkson College will no longer track COVID-19 cases or require students to quarantine. The COVID website information will also no longer be updated.

We are pleased now to be able to allow our College to operate in standard practices and to ensure we continue to promote a safe campus, the expectation to monitor health symptoms of all aliments will remain. Students and employees are asked to follow the College and their department attendance policies when not feeling well, which at a minimum include not attending in person events if you have a fever. Now that quarantine procedures are no longer applicable, please be aware that testing COVID-19 positive but symptom free, no longer allows students an absence of 5 days, because there is no longer a quarantine period. Students should continue to work with their faculty/clinical instructors/directors if absent due to illness with active symptoms, and College employees should report to their supervisors when an absence is necessary. When College employees test COVID-19 positive, please also contact College Human Resources.

We recommend being mindful of washing your hands thoroughly, covering your nose/mouth when coughing and sneezing and to continue to clean spaces after use. We appreciate what we have learned from the pandemic, and good hygiene practices, along with continued College deep cleaning services will help maintain a healthy campus for everyone.
