Cleary University’s incoming student enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is the largest since the business college’s inception in 1883. Total student count is 1,050 students, an increase of 17 percent from last year. Cleary’s student population continues to increase every year. Last year, student numbers reached 898 and in 2019 the student count was 658.
“We attribute our success to many factors, particularly the alignment of our curriculum with the labor market,” said Cleary President Alan Drimmer. “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 faculty members, 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, Drimmer said.
Cleary recently established an accelerated degree program for first responders including police, fire and EMS providers.
“This has attracted hundreds of adult students who have found the program convenient, flexible, attainable and affordable,” Drimmer said. “Our certification programs through Google, IBM, Meta and Six Sigma also are bringing in students who are looking for additional opportunities to advance their career. The certificate programs can be completed in six months.”
Drimmer said Cleary University is known as one of the best business schools in the state and country, and he said it plans to keep its momentum going.
