Clark College Consulting is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based college consulting company. It was founded in 2005 by Ryan Clark, a former US Navy Officer who wanted to advise them on how to make college affordable, productive, and manageable. He was inspired by his own challenges in affording college, and sought to help others climb the social ladder. Also, he became extremely dissatisfied with the current state of college planning and decided to fill this education and coaching gap by founding Clark College Consulting in 2004.
