UNCF’s holistic, powerful study, “Transforming Futures: The Economic Engine of HBCUs,” reaffirms the significant economic contributions of Clark Atlanta University. Through the production and consumption of various goods and services by Clark Atlanta University’s faculty, employees and students, this institution acts as a catalyst for economic growth locally and regionally. This dynamic creates a ripple effect, leading to increased employment opportunities, heightened economic expansion and a more dynamic community environment.
Founded in 1865 in Atlanta, Georgia, Clark Atlanta University (CAU) was created through the consolidation of Atlanta University and Clark College, the nation’s first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African-American student population, in 1869. CAU offers a diverse array of degree programs, featuring prominent ones in arts and sciences, business, education, and social work.
