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. Classes meet twice per week in 12-week terms for the first two years. Course delivery in the first two years combines primarily lecture style courses with an integration of online instruction components. Students may demonstrate proficiency in designated courses, thus saving time and tuition costs. Upon completion of the associate degree, students transition to the evening program to complete the baccalaureate degree requirements. All Cleary University students are offered the following benefits:

  • Textbooks included in the cost of tuition
  • Access to online library databases
  • Tutoring
  • Assigned academic advisor
  • Career services, job placement, internships
  • Tuition guarantee
  • Guaranteed class schedule
  • Extracurricular activities
  • Practitioner faculty

Evening Program
Most Evening Program students are mid-career, working adults. The Evening Program offers a one-day-a-week accelerated academic schedule and use of the internet for some course delivery, and provides 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: a degree completion option, Executive BBA, is designed for immediate entry by qualified individuals, whereas Cleary’s Transfer BBA and BS majors are designed for individuals who have completed needed previous course work, depending on the major selected.

Graduate Program
The Cleary MBA is intended for the experienced manager who is interested in and capable of advancing to the next 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.

Online Program
Cleary University Online Program is for students who want to complete degrees without the geographic restriction of on-campus class meetings. Classes are completed asynchronously over the internet using eCleary, the University’s course delivery system. 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 this option.
