Strayer University - SC Review

I attended Strayer University from 2002 - 2004.  All of the courses I attended were on campuses in the Washington, DC area and challenging.  I found the professors and staff to be the ultimate professionals.  The work was challenging and time consuming, but since Strayer is a school for the working adult it was a great fit for me.  When my job required travel, I took my laptop with me to do homework, complete assignments.  I also had field trip assignments to museums and places like the Library of Congress.  When I was on travel for my job, my professor allowed me to visit a museum in the area I would be in, with a specific topic I was to research.  Each assignment required the completion of a report of my finding, etc.  This was in addition to other, regular work assignments for the course that included exams (closed book), papers, presentations, mid-term and final exams.  The textbooks, although pricey, were very useful.  In fact, I still refer to mine in the "real world." 

Bottomline, the more you work for your degree, the better it will be valued.  I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Strayer University in 2004.  Prior to completing my degree, my salary was about $60K.  Since graduating from Strayer, I have received 3 promotions and recently passed the $100K/year salary mark.  Strayer is challenging...it is NOT a diploma mill.  You will WORK for the degree.  In most cases, your classes will be from 6:15 - 10 p.m., twice a week for one course.  In my case, I worked all day, went to class at night, and had to find time to study and take care of my family.  It can be done...but don't let some of the messages on this board fool you..you will work for the degree you earn.

 Good luck to all of you who are serious about completing your degree!
