Strayer University Reviews of Bachelor's in Business Administration

I have good and bad well I graduated which is excellent, as far as career internships or partnership with companies to help with career advancement per degree, none. Now let's go into official transcript takes forever for whatever reason that is ultimately preventing me from starting Graduate School at another University it's crazy but if you were continuing with STRAYER you could start ASAP. Are you not needing to be conferred before starting or is it the school will expedite the process to continue... Read More their programs? Besides that I was able to finish in 2 years which is also excellent, the Sofia courses helped with that. Let's see, oh the Grad fund which I have over 10k left upon graduating is a slap in the face. Honestly, I'm like what was the point. It's crazy because I recommended this school to a few people and two of them are currently still attending but I have been keeping them updated on the BS pertaining to situations I have delt with while attending. These are a couple reasons why I chose not to attend their GRAD PROGRAM scared of continued BS.

I have been employed in the healthcare industry for decades, and only needed the degree now because my company was acquired by an organization that requires it for me to advance any further. I already earn as much if not more than others with a degree because of my experience. Strayer is ok, but your experience will vary class to class depending upon the professor. Some just don't give a damn, others are awesome. I am in a class now that has quizzes each week, 4 major assignments, and tons of reading... Read More requirements on top of weekly discussions. Last semester, I had a professor who insisted we use the questions asked for the discussion as an outline in our posts...the only reason for this would be to make it easier for her to grade. It did nothing to enhance an organic discussion experience. The caliber of the student body seems pretty low. Strayer admits anyone who can pay. As a result, there are many students who are not really performing at college level, and it shows. I can only imagine what the assignments look like that students hand in when there are so many grammatical and spelling errors in the discussions. Class grade averages are frighteningly low, too. I took two classes last semester, and the last week of class the averages were 68 and 72. While some professors record themselves taking you through the material (like a real lecture), the vast majority do not. It is entirely up to the student to read and comprehend the material from the textbook, ancillary material, and LinkedIn learning recordings. It really is self-study on a schedule. Am I loving the experience? No, I'm not. My company is picking up the tab, and with 11-12 more years of work ahead of me, I want one more promotion and am not really looking to change companies to one that values experience more than a piece of paper. At this point, I am keeping my head down and moving toward the finish line. I just want this chapter closed.

The school is geared towards working adults. It has met the requirements I had expected going into the program. It has assisted with progressing in my career, and put me in a position to pursue a higher degree. You must be self motivated to learn the material, and to be successful in the program. The support can be hit or miss depending on the professor, but it is comparable to other schools I have attended in the past. Negative reviews of the school are almost always geared towards financial aid,... Read More which is certainly lacking in support at this school, or based on experiences from people who expected to be handed a degree for minimal work. If the program meets your requirements I would recommend it.

I decided to go back to school and needed a college that met two requirements. First, I needed a school that would take all my transfer credits from over ten years ago. Second, I preferred to take all my classes online. I am so glad I decided to go with Strayer. From the very start, the admissions staff were thoughtful of my time and accommodating. The teaching staff are so knowledgeable and passionate about each class they teach - I love it! I also love that I can reach my professors at almost anytime.... Read More AND most importantly, I love the flexibility that online schooling brings. I highly recommend Strayer University for working adults looking for an excellent online education.

Dream Realized! After surviving cancer, raising an adopted child as a single parent, losing my father and brother a year apart, caring for my mother and relocating across the country with no other family support, I knew I had to be in the best position possible to be a viable candidate for any employer should I face the job market as a job seeker again. I had no one else to depend on. I made it my goal to get my degree and Strayer was the vehicle to get me there. It was not easy. I had so many odds... Read More against me. But I had caring instructors who were fully vested into my success. The classes were challenging, but thought-provoking and taught me to think critically in business and in my personal life. They are flexible and worked around my hectic schedule. Most of all, my degree comes with an accreditation that is respected among some of the best employers in the land. One of the best decisions I've made in life is becoming a Strayer alumna.

Strayer University has helped me reach goals that I thought were unattainable. I have overcome doubts that I had in myself with regards to completing my education and having the time to do so. Achieving the goals I set for myself, I have allowed me to celebrate milestones of getting good grades and actually visualizing the light at the end of the tunnel that is graduation. I know I would not be able to succeed and do as well as I have without self-determination and continuous, outpouring of support... Read More from the faculty and staff at Strayer. We can all achieve excellence with support and motivation.
