Alumni

Cleary University has a rich and storied history. From its founding in 1883 by P.R. Cleary as The Cleary School of Penmanship, to being incorporated by state law as Cleary Business College in 1891, to being approved from College to University status in 2002, Cleary's mission has been the same: to provide a practical, application-based education, which equips students to advance their careers.
