Strayer University

Pros: Extremely convenient, professional and helpful staff, often requires only a computer to attend classes.
Cons: More expensive than "traditional" higher education.

I noticed there hadn't been a review of Strayer in the last two years, and since I have started going to school there since then and Strayer continues to grow, maybe it's time to share another point of view on it. A little about myself. I am 35 years ...

Pros: Classes are convenient for working adults (i.e. evenings and weekends)
Cons: Tuition too high for what you get, little cooperation from school staff and instructors

I received an Associates degree in Business Administration in March 1997 from Strayer University (Strayer College back then). I know it is partly my fault that I did not sit down and actually have a plan/goal what I was going to do with an AA degree in...

Pros: convenient, workplace-focused

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.

Pros: CONVENIENT ONLINE CLASSES
Cons: This school is highly over rated and I hate that I ever attended.

This school is highly over rated and I hate that I ever attended. The tuition is 16,000 for a fulltime student for one school year. They claim that the reason that the tuition is so high is because they are a private institution. They have no school ...

Pros: Obtain my entire degree at home through distance learning with no mandatory campus required.
Cons: Could be more affordable since there are no physical campus requirements to have to support.

I registered with Strayer University on November 2004 as a distance education undergraduate. I did have difficulty with the Staff, however have encountered very little with the faculty. The faculty is co-operative, giving consideration that of all of my ...

Pros: convenient, many programs available, great and helpful staff
Cons: Expensive, you must be self-driven to attend this school.

I am a proud student at Strayer University.  College coursework is and always will be what you put into it.  56% of traditional university students admit to cheating their way through school, this was only at brick and mortar schools.   This shows no matter where a student comes from there are some who care and some who do not.  Strayer is a convenient albeit expensive school.  Which gives you the curriculum, guidance, tools, and a testing system, it is up the the student to put in the effort and learn.  The professors cannot do your learning for you whether at Strayer University or Harvard.  What you get out of it is what you had put into your education.  I highly reccomend this school and love every minute of the interactive classroom work.  The professors are far more caring than they were at the state University I had attended.
