About This School

Strayer University-District of Columbia is a private for-profit institution located in Washington, District of Columbia with approximately 309 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $13,920 per year. The graduation rate is 0%, and the typical graduate earns $53,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers here raise serious red flags: a 0% graduation rate means virtually no one who enrolls actually finishes a degree, which should give any prospective student serious pause. On the brighter side, graduates who do complete a program report median earnings of $53,500 at the 10-year mark with a relatively modest $14,000 in debt, suggesting the credential can pay off — if you get there. Worth considering only if you have a very clear plan for staying enrolled and completing your degree, and even then, it's worth comparing against nearby community colleges or public universities with stronger completion records.
