The Cleary Mind

The Cleary Mind creates graduates who are hard-working, who understand how to think, and who employers say are more prepared than their peers. Cleary graduates land jobs in their chosen fields faster, and have higher earnings, than their peers from comparable universities.

Twenty-first century employers want leadership, communication, and team players. Cleary’s theories of development shepherd students through their university years with an eye toward helping them form identity. The inquisitive nature and ready openness of the college years, combined with encouraged questioning and immersive study of this approach to business education, produces graduates who are contributors.
