Cleary recognized as a top university in the US

(HOWELL, MI) Cleary University has been named the ninth best school in the entire country for its online master’s degree program.

OnlineMastersDegrees.org ranked Cleary as one of the best schools in the US for the following:

  • MBA online Leadership degree program: ranked ninth best school in the US
  • MBA online degree program (in Michigan): ranked #9 in the entire state
  • MBA online Human Resources program: ranked #15 in the country

When selecting the top schools for online master’s degree programs, OMD looks at accredited schools offering the best value, flexibility and cost. Many master’s students need to balance work, family and other responsibilities, making online learning a must-have option for colleges, reports OMD Co-Founder Kyle Darland.

OnlineMastersDegrees.org analyzed more than 7,700 accredited colleges and universities in the country using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the institutions themselves. After the data was compiled, OMD’s data science team then applied a proprietary algorithm to rank all qualifying schools for each of the different master’s degree specialties.

The team evaluated student tuition costs, student-to-faculty ratio, student acceptance rate, academic counseling services, career placement services and more.

To be eligible for this designation, colleges or universities must hold active regional accreditation and have at least one partially online master’s program in the ranking subject. Just 9 percent of US postsecondary institutions earned a ranking position, Darland finds.

“We attribute our success to many factors, particularly the alignment of our curriculum with the labor market,” reports Alan Drimmer, PhD, Cleary president. “Employers are seeking Cleary graduates because they are armed with The Cleary Mind attributes – critical and creative thinking, problem solving, effective communication, entrepreneurship, persuasion and ethical leadership. Our students are ready for the work world when they graduate from Cleary and it’s showing in our numbers.”

In addition to The Cleary Mind, the university is proud of its robust faculty who bring their real-world experiences into the classroom. Small class sizes, personalized attention, and learning opportunities from business leaders are just a few more reasons Cleary’s enrollment continues to climb, Dr. Drimmer notes.

“At OMD, we understand that prospective students want to make sure they choose a master’s degree program that gives them the best chance to get ahead in their careers, one that combines affordability, academic quality and study flexibility,” explains Darland. “That is why we developed user-friendly, research-based content.

We rank schools using the latest self-reported data schools provide to the US Department of Education,” he points out.
