How to Apply to or Visit Clark Atlanta University

Updated

Clark Atlanta University's homepage (cau.edu) provides direct entry points for applying and visiting. Use the Apply Today link to start an application, and the Visit link to arrange a campus visit. The site also lists the admissions office address and phone number for direct contact. These paths are best for prospective undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, as well as anyone planning an in-person trip to campus.

Applying to Clark Atlanta University

The homepage surfaces application access through two main routes:

  • Apply Today — the primary call-to-action button on the homepage, leading into the application process.
  • Admissions — a navigation link for admissions-related information and requirements.

The site also separates program exploration by level, which is useful before or during an application:

Entry point What it covers
Undergraduate Programs Academic exploration for undergraduate study
Graduate and Professional Programs Advanced degrees for professionals, scholars, and innovators

If you are unsure which program fits, start with the relevant program section, then move to Apply Today when ready.

Visiting Campus

The homepage includes a Visit link for arranging a campus visit. CAU is located in Atlanta, and the site frames the city as an extended campus — citing access to Fortune 500 internships, professional networks, and cultural sites.

The contact and location details listed on the page are:

  • Address: 223 James P. Brawley Dr., S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30314
  • Phone: (404) 880-8000

You can also check Upcoming Events on the homepage for scheduled on-campus and virtual sessions. Examples listed include:

  • School of Business Virtual Open House — Thursday, October 08, 6:00 PM
  • Homecoming 5k — Sunday, October 11, 8:00 AM
  • School of Education Virtual Open House — Thursday, October 15, 3:30 PM

A View All Events link leads to the full calendar. Virtual open houses are a practical option if you cannot travel to Atlanta.

Other Useful Entry Points

The homepage footer and navigation include several links that support the application and visit process:

  • Directory — to find specific departments or contacts.
  • Give — for donation information.
  • Admissions — for admissions-specific pages.
  • Visit — for campus visit arrangements.

For media-related questions, the page lists Media Inquiries as a separate contact route.

What to Expect From the Process

The homepage does not publish application deadlines, fees, or required documents. Those details sit behind the Apply Today and Admissions links. Before applying, confirm:

  1. Which program level applies to you (undergraduate vs. graduate/professional).
  2. Whether an upcoming open house or virtual session fits your schedule.
  3. Whether you need to visit campus or can rely on virtual events.

If you plan to visit in person, call (404) 880-8000 or use the Visit link to confirm arrangements, since the homepage does not specify visit scheduling steps or availability.
