Classes are also offered in the evenings, on weekends and even online so that students might successfully balance work and family obligations with school.

Strayer also provides career-counseling services to help its students in the application, interview and job search processes.

Undergraduate admissions requirements include possession of a high school diploma or GED and submission of an application. In light of Strayer’s mission, the school even awards credit for life experience in certain instances.

The financial aid department does its best to help eligible students with tuition costs by providing loans and grants to those who have a demonstrated financial need. To be considered for these financial aid sources, applicants need to fill out a FAFSA. There are also several institutional scholarships that are based on grade point average and usually cover partial tuition. Military benefits are also offered to those who qualify.
