Strayer University Reviews of Bachelor's in Information Technology

This school seems to have great customer service and everything in the beginning. but as soon as you get into your semester everything goes wrong. I have been dealing with this school for the past few months and all I been doing is battling with the financial aid department on trying to send my personal information over. The search and financial aid department seem to not care and only will respond to you when they want to respond to you. some of the coaches will only work on your problems when they... Read More want to work on your problems with the school. One small little situation can be taken to great measures and will make you fail the semester. I don't know if the staff is always like that but it seems like the people here just don't care and they will get to you when they feel like it. I would not recommend this school. This school is awful and straining.

Would not recommend to anyone.The school only cares about the money. I have not been able to get in contact with my success coach or my professors since I started my classes. Due to that I could not inform them that I was going to miss a week of assignments. Now a few days ago I got a message from someone at the school saying I missed my classes and if it happens again I could be put on academic suspension or worst kicked out and charged a fee of 50% of my tuition. Worst school I have ever attended.... Read More Really would not recommend.

DO NOT GET IN THIS PLACE! The management is totally worst thing to deal with. From financial service to anything that handles the records and paperwork is totally disaster here. First, I even lost count how many times they have messed up my admission and it got delayed 6 months because of their negligence, then they messed up my financial records and finally after graduation they never sent me my diploma, for seven months I had to call them every time to check why they never sent out my diploma and... Read More all of them gave me separate excuses and finally they made me pay some extra hundreds for no reason. I paid all those just because I had no will to deal with those people anymore and I needed my diploma for my job soon. I can not believe they are so careless about the system. I would never recommend anyone to go in this place.

This university served one purpose for me, to complete my bachelors degree in a technical field as quickly as possible. I transferred to Strayer after dropping out of college 6 years earlier. I finally decided I wanted to go back to school and eventually continue with graduate studies. I reviewed UMUC, UOP, Strayer, and AIC. The only reason why I chose Strayer over UMUC is they accepted more of my previously earned credits. I finished my degree there in 15 months (14 classes). I knew that the reputation... Read More of the school would not get me the salary or position I desired (Software Engineer) so I quickly applied to grad school (Johns Hopkins University MS Computer Science). I was quite happy they accepted me and complete my MS in 1.5 years and was hired as a Senior Software Engineer making over $100,000. Like I previously stated, Strayer suited my needs to quickly complete a Bachelors degree in a semi technical topic. It also afforded me the opportunity to go to grad school. For that reason alone I give Strayer 4 stars.

Strayer University was intended for people who understand that if you want something then you will be willing to put the effort into learning it. They don't except excuses for incomplete work or payments but they are willing to work with you within reason. The goal is or everyone to have the opportunity to succeed although not everyone will. What I learned was definitely worth the time and the effort and I have decided to continue my education at their school although multiple universities do accept... Read More these credits. It is expected that anyone attending college level courses will read and write at that level and also have a basic understanding of how to do research work. If you are unsure of your skills in these things then take some remedial classes prior to enrolling or you will not be able to complete the program. It can be hard and at times exhausting but it is worth it. Talking to other students and communicating is also an excellent way to learn more.
