Clark College has formed partnerships with Cascadia Technical Academy , Washington State University Vancouver and other educational institutions that consolidate steps, reduce the number of hours required for a degree, and ensure students are prepared for the workforce. Additionally, students with prior experience may be able to earn credit for their real-world experiences via our Credit for Prior Learning program.
