They might be regionally accredited and care about their students, but it ends there. Strayer University is still a for-profit university, and they want your money. Faculty will seldom grade your assignments and responds to your emails.... Read More Instead, they hire part time workers to do all the grading and do it like an assembly line. Their part time workers will quickly look over your assignments and then click a button that will automatically give you a grade reply. The same is true when you think a person is responding to you within a discussion board. The part time workers are trained to look for key words and then click a button that will give you something that you think is a unique response when they never read your assignment. Part time workers who grade your assignments have quotas, so everyone is rushed to complete them while they have a team who is looking only at plagiarism. That is correct, they have people who automatically assume you are dishonest and will investigate every paper you turn in.

I have attended Strayer University at their PG County campus since 2016. I am a part time student and take one class online and one class on campus a quarter. The staff at my campus seem nice but I generally have issues with understanding instructors due to heavy accents. Foreign accents are a common occurrence in the DC area but it makes it hard to learn course material when you can not understand the words coming from your professor. I have had some very good professors at my time in the school... Read More that really seem to want to help you do better as a whole, not just in class. The online classes have not been too overly difficult up to this point as long as you review all the required materials. Financially I have had no problems with the school. I use GI Bill benefits to attend and the school set up everything for me. All of my payments have been made and I have had no outstanding balances to contend with. Switching gears to the course curriculum I do feel as if some of the classes are on the easy side of things. There are many classes that I don't feel very challenged in other than the occasional discussion post. The workload isn't too over bearing and I generally have an easy time getting it done within the week allowed. This is on top of juggling a full time job, a part time job, and a few volunteer hours a week. Overall I am happy with my experience at Strayer so far. I would recomend this school on a case by case basis. If you are just trying to get a degree to get a little ahead in life then this school might be the ticket. It all depends on your situation and the career field you are in or trying to pursue.
