Southeastern University is a private, non-profit undergraduate and graduate institution of higher education located in southwestern Washington, D.C., in the United States. It was established in the YMCA 1879 and chartered by an Act of Congress in 1879. Its current president is Charlene Drew Jarvis, Ph.D., who for twenty years was a member of the Washington, D.C., city council. It has degree programs in Criminal Justice, Child Development, Public Administration, Business Management, Accounting, Finance, Liberal Studies, Computer Science, and Allied Health, a program initiated in 2006 at Greater Southeast Community Hospital. There are also certificate programs in entrepreneurship, property management, real estate, Web development, and others. It is a member of the Consortium of Universities of the Metropolitan Washington Area.
Southeastern University has a total enrollment of about 867. About 77% are locally based, and a majority are female, but there is also a significant international enrollment consisting of students from over 50 countries, including West Africa, China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere.
Southeastern began as a series of classes offered by the YMCA of the District of Columbia in 1879. The Washington School of accountancy was added in 1907, and in 1923 the university incorporated under the authority of the District of Columbia as, "Southeastern University of the Young Men's Christian Association of the District of Columbia." An August 19, 1937 federal charter from Congress renamed the institution to "Southeastern University". The university has since gained other colleges.
