Clearfield Campus

Commonwealth University is pleased to also offer the Physician Assistant Program at our Clearfield campus Location. Using state-of-the-art technology, the University is able to deliver high-definition television quality, fully-interactive, live broadcasts of curriculum between four campus locations.
