About This School
Strayer University-Delaware is a private for-profit institution located in Wilmington, Delaware with approximately 161 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $22,593 per year. Typical graduates earn $53,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Designed primarily for working adults looking to finish a degree or advance in business-focused careers, this school may appeal to students who need flexibility and already have some professional experience — but the data here raises serious flags that any family should take seriously before committing. The 0% freshman retention rate is one of the most alarming numbers I've seen, meaning virtually no first-year students continue on, which suggests either significant dissatisfaction, financial barriers, or a mismatch between student expectations and reality. At $22,593 per year in net costs and a median debt load of $40,621 at graduation, you're taking on real financial risk for outcomes that land around $53,500 in median earnings a decade out — which is modest given what you'd pay to get there. For most traditional students or families weighing this option, I'd strongly encourage exploring community colleges or state schools first, where the value proposition is far clearer and the graduation and retention data tells a much more encouraging story. If you're a non-traditional student with a specific reason this school fits your life, go in with eyes open, ask hard questions about student support, and make sure you have a concrete plan for completing the degree — because the numbers suggest most students don't.
