Academic Programs

Day Program
The Day Program is designed for students who recently completed their high school education and are preparing for entry into a professional business career.  Degree majors in the Day Program are selected to achieve this goal in fields aligned with the interests of this student group and the business fields with career entry employment potential.  Course scheduling, pacing, and technology demands are all tailored to the needs of the day student.  Work courses and labs are integrated into curricula to give hands-on experiences.  Students join a cohort, attend class two days per week, and can complete their ABA in two years and their BBA in three and a half years.

Evening Program
Most Evening Program students are mid-career working adults who did not pursue a bachelor's degree directly after high school.  The evening program cohort delivery, one-day-a-week accelerated academic schedule, and use of the Internet for some course delivery, provide these students with an opportunity to complete their undergraduate degrees while juggling the demands of careers and family.  Cleary University's Evening Program offers two different undergraduate degree paths.  Degree Completion BBAs are offered in many different majors.  These are designed for immediate entry by individuals who transfer an associate's degree completed in any field of study, without requiring specific previous course work.  Cleary's Transfer BS majors are designed for individuals who have completed needed previous course work, depending on the major selected.  Most Evening Program students can combine previous college transfer credits and non-college prior leaning credits to complete the bachelor's degree in slightly over one year.

Graduate Program
The Cleary MBA is intended for the mid-level experienced manager who is interested in and capable of advancing to the executive level, but unable to forego employment and family life to achieve an advanced degree.  The Graduate Program curriculum emphasizes business theory appropriate to the graduate level but also incorporates an applied problem-solving approach while covering a broad range of core business topics.  Student interest in a particular industry, sector, or field is accommodated with major concentration courses.  Most MBA majors do not require a specific undergraduate degree major.  Courses are completed one course at a time to allow fit with a busy schedule.  The MBA can be completed in less than two years.

Online Program
Cleary University Online Program is for students who want to complete degrees with the advantage of there being no requirements for class meetings on campus.  Classes are completed asynchronously over the internet using eCleary, the University's course delivery software.  Students with time or travel restrictions due to work or other demands, or who are not conveniently located near one of Cleary's campuses, can complete a degree online.  Selected MBA and BBA degrees are offered through Cleary's Online Program.
