| gungian's Full Review: Strayer University |
This is NOT an unbiased review. I graduated from Strayer University and now serve on the adjunct faculty. In my "day job" I am the Business Manager of a $15m strategic consulting firm in northern Virginia.
Colleges and universities come in many shapes and sizes. Every college/university is not capable of meeting the needs of every student. Each student should choose a college/university most appropriate to his/her individual situation. I have experienced higher education from many perspectives--from quite traditional to very non-typical. My BS (Sociology) is from SUNY. My first Masters (Educational Administration) was earned at Old Dominion University. My MBA (Management) is from Strayer University. I should complete my Doctorate (Educational Leadership) at The George Washington University next May.
So where does Strayer University fit in? Strayer University has thirteen locations in the Washington metropolitan area [DC/MD/VA]. Strayer confers undergraduate and graduate degrees in accounting, business, and computer information systems. The university's approach is ideally suited to the diverse needs of the working adult. I know this because I have lived the Strayer learning experience from both sides. I earned a Masters there and have served the institution as an adjunct professor of business for almost five years.
Strayer offers a wide variety of courses. There is an experienced cadre of full-time faculty and a large number of adjunct professors. Many of the adjunct faculty are active in business so there is a great deal of current, practical application in the course work. Some classes support a broad post-secondary education. Most, however, are focused on the workplace needs of twenty-first century adults. While there are classes that are scheduled during the traditional workday, there is a heavy concentration of night and weekend offerings. The number of courses available through "technology-enabled distance education" grows each quarter.
If you are serious about continuing your education; consider Strayer. You can learn more at http://www.strayer.edu
