In 1992, Money magazine ranked Clark Atlanta as one of the 10 best values for the money among historically black colleges and universities. In 1993, Clark Atlanta ranked third in the nation among Historically Black Colleges and Universities as the school of preference to send SAT scores.

Clark Atlanta undergraduate students number approximately 4,200 men and women from 44 states, and 48 countries. Approximately fifty-seven percent of Clark Atlanta's students are from the South.

Clark Atlanta University (CAU) students have an enormous educational, cultural and social advantage through the University's participation as a member of the Atlanta University Center (AUC)- the largest consortium of historically black colleges and universities in the world. Other participating schools include Spelman, Morris Brown and Morehouse College, the Interdenominational Theological Center, and Morehouse School of Medicine. All of the AUC institutions are located in a centralized area and within walking distance from Clark Atlanta.
