Campus and vibes

Student

The school is absolutely amazing, any problems and advice you need thru out the year is available. They email, text at anytime of day or night.

Cost and value

Current Student

My overall experience at Strayer was challenging, primarily because the program was entirely online, which made it difficult to balance my coursework with my professional responsibilities. Most of the obstacles I faced were personal, but I appreciated that support was available whenever I needed it to complete my degree. That said, I found the tuition to be quite expensive, and for that reason, I wouldn’t choose this college again. However, the flexibility and convenience of online learning were definitely beneficial.
