Student Right to Know/Graduation Rate
In compliance with the Student Right to Know Act, Strayer University provides the following graduation rate information.
The Student Right to Know Act graduation rate is a specific calculation that includes only the following population: full-time, first-time, undergraduate, degree/certificate-seeking students who enroll at Strayer University during a fall quarter or during the summer immediately preceding the fall quarter in which the student enrolls full time. This population is identified each year and followed for up to 6 years to determine the percentage of graduating students.
For the cohort of students entering Fall 2002, the graduation rate was 15%. The official Student Right to Know Act graduation rate pools first-time, full-time, degree/certificate seeking students for the four most recent years, for 1998 to the 2002 entering cohorts. The graduation rate for the pooled 1998 to 2002 cohorts was 14%.
Because the majority of Strayer University’s students are either part-time students or transfer students who have previously attended a higher education institution, this rate represents a very small fraction of the University’s student body. This data is updated by July 1 of each year.
