Why Cleary?
Cleary University was founded in 1883 on the simple belief that a business college should prepare students to exceed the expectations of their employers. In fact, we've been nationally recognized as a leader in business education, and we are repeatedly endorsed as highly responsive to the needs of our students.
We believe students are our most important customers. Our academic programs are designed to offer service, efficiency and convenience. We do this without sacrificing the academic rigor that makes employers eager to hire and promote Cleary graduates.
Philosophies
What's original in this approach is the way we implement these philosophies.
Predictability
We know your time is important and that once you decide a business degree is the right credential for your career, you'll want to achieve your goal without interruption. Our cohort system allows you to predict the class sequence, attend the same night of the week each term, lock in your tuition rate, avoid out of pocket cost for books, follow a similar format for every class you take, and even know your graduation date when you start your program.
Practitioner Faculty
Cleary's highly qualified faculty work in the field they teach. These professionals implement case studies and group projects into their curriculum, helping students make the translation between the business theory and principles of the classroom to the real world of business.
Cohort Learning Systems
It's a simple idea that does wonders for the college experience. Students are placed in learning teams similar to work-based teams in a business environment. This shared-learning approach keeps classmates together, providing an opportunity to learn in a supportive environment while sharing practical job-related experience.
