Contents

Strayer University operates under the publicly-traded holding company Strategic Education, Inc., which was established in 1996 and rebranded in 2018 following its merger with Capella University. [3] [4] [5]

Strayer enrolls more than 50,000 students through both its online learning programs and 64 campuses located throughout 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. [6] It offers in degree programs for working adults [7] and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in accounting, business administration, criminal justice, education, health services administration, information technology and public administration. [8] [9]

History

19th century

Siebert Irving Strayer founded Strayer's Business College in Baltimore in 1892. [1] Strayer established the college to teach business skills to former farm workers, [10] including shorthand, typing and accounting. [2] [11] Thomas W. Donoho joined the school in 1902. [12]

In its first decade of operations, enrollment at the school gradually increased, attracting students from other states.

20th century

In 1904, Strayer opened a branch of the school in Washington, D.C. [1] [2] [12]

Enrollment further expanded as demand for trained accountants grew after the passage of the Revenue Act of 1913 and World War I increased the need for federal government clerks with office skills. [2] During the 1930s, the college was authorized to grant collegiate degrees in accountancy by the Washington, D.C., board of education. [2] The school founded Strayer Junior College in 1959, when it was given the right to confer two-year degrees. In 1969, the college received the accreditation needed to grant four-year Bachelor of Arts degrees and was renamed Strayer College. [2]

From the 1980s to the late 1990s, Strayer College grew rapidly; enrollment increased from approximately 1,800 in 1981 and 2,000 in 1983, [13] [14] to around 9,000 by 1997. [11] The college expanded the range of degree programs and courses it offered to include subjects such as data processing management and health care management. [13] In 1987, the college was given authorization to grant Master of Science degrees. [3]

During the 1990s, the college began to focus on offering information technology courses. [8] According to The Washington Times, high demand for computer training due to the increased use of computers in offices and movement toward "knowledge-based" employment led to higher enrollment at Strayer. [11] In addition, Strayer began providing training programs in computer information systems for companies including AT&T Corporation and government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service. [15] In 1996, the college launched Strayer Online to offer classes via the Internet. [15] [16]

In 1998, Strayer College was granted university status by the District of Columbia Education Licensure Commission and became Strayer University. [17]

21st century

At the beginning of the 21st century, Strayer established its first campus locations outside of the Washington metropolitan area, adding campuses in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. [18] [19] [20] Since the early 21st century, Strayer has added additional campuses in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, Texas, and West Virginia, according to the university's website. [21]

Sondra Stallard was named the thirteenth president of Strayer University in May 2007. Stallard had been dean since 1996. Stallard previously served as dean of the school of continuing and professional studies at the University of Virginia. [22]

Strayer enrollment grew in the decade 2001–2010, from 14,009 in the fall of 2001 to 60,711 in the fall of 2010. [14] Enrollment dropped to 42,975 by 2015. [23] In 2010 the U.S. Department of Education, reported that the repayment rate of federal student loans at Strayer University was 25 percent. Strayer claimed its loan repayment rate to be 55 percent. [24] [25]

In 2011, the Washington Post claimed that Strayer had a 15 percent graduation rate, listing it among the lowest college graduation rates in the Washington, D.C., area. Strayer claimed the graduation rate for its full cohort of bachelor's students was 33 percent. [26] In December 2011, it acquired the Jack Welch Management Institute from Chancellor University for about $7 million. The institute offers a fully online Executive MBA program, as well as certificate programs. [9] [27] [28] [29] In 2012, Michael Plater was named fourteenth president of Strayer University. Previously, he served as provost and chief academic officer. [12] [30]

On August 9, 2012, the syndicated comic strip Doonesbury described Strayer's unusually high executive compensation as part of a series of satirical strips on for-profit education. [31] [32] [33] In addition to reporting Silberman's 2009 compensation (which it described as fifty times more than Harvard's president), the strip said that in the same year that Strayer spent $1,300 per student on instruction, it spent $2,500 per student on marketing and returned $4,500 per student in profit. [14] [33]

In 2013, USA Today listed Strayer University of Washington D.C. as a "red flag" institution for posting a student loan default rate that surpassed its graduation rate. [34] [35] In July 2013, Strayer University contacted HSI Sterling to report suspicious activity surrounding academic transcripts and coursework. [36] [37] It was later found that from November 2012 to October 2013, a Strayer University admissions official with two co-conspirators fraudulently created at least 58 official Strayer University transcripts. The conspirators were ordered to forfeit nearly $300,000 of proceeds from the fraud to the United States government. [38] In October 2013, Strayer initiated a major change in its physical operations by announcing the closure of its 20 Midwest campus locations. Strayer reported total enrollments dropped 17 percent, while new enrollments dropped 23 percent. It was announced that all students currently enrolled in programs in the Midwest at the time would be able to continue their education through Strayer's online only program offerings. [39] [40]

In 2015, Brian Jones, who had previously been Strayer University's general counsel, was named its 15th president. Prior to joining Strayer University, Jones was a lawyer and higher education entrepreneur. He served as General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Education from 2001 until 2005. [41]

In January 2016, Strayer Education announced that acquired the New York Code + Design Academy (NYCDA), making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Strayer Education offering web and mobile development courses. [42] Strayer resumed expansion again in 2018 after opening a campus in Montgomery, Alabama. [43] [44]

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Strayer temporarily closed all its campuses, [45] and began advertising heavily for people to enroll as remote students. [46] At least 18 Strayer campuses closed permanently in 2020 as a result. [47] Strayer University has reopened 50 campuses that had been closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and stated that it would evaluate reopening additional campuses in 2022. [48]

Partnerships

Comedian and game show host Steve Harvey was a spokesperson for Strayer and has appeared in several advertisements [49] [50] and spoke at Strayer's commencement ceremony in May 2015. [51] Strayer partnered with Daily Mail in February 2015 to produce a new section of the Daily Mail site named Strayer Business News. As part of the deal, Daily Mail would co-produce education and business content for its new business section. [52]

Strayer announced the launch of Strayer@Work, a new performance improvement solution for businesses in May 2015. As part of the launch, Strayer also announced a partnership with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to offer free college education to all participating FCA dealership employees. [53] FCA dealers pay a monthly fee to send employees to Strayer. [54] [55] Strayer has educational partnerships with approximately 300 Fortune 1000 companies. [53]

In March 2017, Strayer announced a collaboration with financial news network Cheddar to produce digital entrepreneurship specialization as a part of Strayer's MBA program. [56]

In 2018, Queen Latifah became a spokesperson for Strayer. [57]

Strayer University's total enrollment is greater than 52,000 students. The student body is predominantly women of color. Seventy-four percent of the student body is female and 76 percent are people of color. The average age is 34. [75]

Since the early 2000s, Strayer University has had a high proportion of minority students or people of color. The college has had more women students than men since the late 1990s. [15] [19] According to its then-president, two thirds of its students in 2010 were women, and over half were African American or Hispanic. [76] As of 2010, the National Center for Education Statistics reports that Strayer's student body is 56 percent black, 21 percent white, and 13 percent Hispanic. [77] The majority work full-time. [68]

Many students receive financial assistance from federal government financial aid programs or education assistance programs operated by the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. As of 2010, the U.S. federal government accounted for 84.9 percent of Strayer's revenue. Approximately one-quarter of Strayer students receive tuition assistance from their employers. [14]
