Clarion University was established Sept. 10, 1867, as the Carrier Seminary of Western Pennsylvania. Bearer Seminary started operation and offered an ordinary program in 1871.
Then again, it wasn't official for an additional 16 years. Clarion State Normal School, the successor to Carrier Seminary, opened its entryways on the old Seminary grounds April 12, 1887.
The ward's buy of Clarion was official in December 1915 with the state expecting full control the accompanying year. Clarion turned into a school level organization in 1920.
The school turned into a college in the 1980s. By Legislative Act 188 of 1982, every one of the 14 state universities were taken from the control of the Pennsylvania Department of Education and put under the ward of the recently made Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
Karen Whitney, Ph.D., turned into the sixteenth president of the college July 1, 2010.
