Clark Atlanta University makes Forbes List of America’s top Universities & Colleges
University President Carlton E. Brown said, “Given a still struggling American economy and a population of students who have traditionally been underserved, we are delighted for our inclusion in the Forbes list of top colleges. Also, with our classification as a research institution, researchers in such areas as prostate cancer, nanotechnology and safe drinking water are steadfast in their work, and our stellar faculty members continue to demonstrate high expectations.”
This year, which marks the university’s 25th anniversary, the school qualified for the installation of two national honor societies, Phi Eta Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi.
Phi Eta Sigma is the first and largest honor society devoted to the achievement of the first-year college student. Clark Atlanta University is only the third HBCU with a chapter. Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest, largest and most selective all-discipline honor society in the United States, and the university is the first private HBCU to be granted a chapter.
“These societies will serve as new platforms for the pursuit of academic excellence to prepare our students for global responsibility,” said Brown.
