Welcome to Strayer University. We fit your life.

Strayer University offers students a quality education that's affordable, convenient, and supportive. Our flexible academic programs make it possible for you to earn your associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree on your schedule, without interrupting your personal or professional life.

Established in 1892, Strayer University was designed to meet the educational needs of working adult students. To do this, we offer flexible class formats that allow you to balance a college education with your other responsibilities. Our programs include accounting, business, information systems, management, public administration, health services administration, and education.

Strayer University can help you achieve your goals.

The value of a degree or certification is only as high as the standards of the university that confers it. For over 115 years, Strayer University has been dedicated to ensuring the quality of our instructors and curricula, while also providing the tools and support necessary for you to achieve your goals.

• Accommodating Class Schedules. Day and evening classes are available seven days a week at a campus near your home or work. Also, you can attend classes online at the time and place of your choosing using our synchronous (real time) and/or asynchronous (any time) class formats. Our quarter system makes it possible for you to take more courses in a year than the traditional semester system, which means you can earn your degree faster than you might expect.
