About This School

Strayer University-New Jersey is a private for-profit institution located in Piscataway, New Jersey with approximately 702 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.

Working adults looking to finish a degree while managing jobs and family obligations are the primary audience here, but even for that group, the numbers raise serious red flags that are hard to overlook. The most alarming figure is a reported graduation rate of 0%, which suggests the vast majority of students who enroll never complete their degree — and a credential you don't finish has almost no labor market value. On the earnings side, graduates who do make it through report median earnings of $53,500 after ten years, which is reasonable, but that comes alongside $40,621 in median debt, meaning you'd be carrying a significant financial burden for a return that isn't exceptional. For a for-profit institution with this profile, I'd strongly encourage any family to first exhaust options at nearby community colleges or public universities like Rutgers, where costs are lower and completion outcomes are far better documented. If Strayer is being considered purely for flexibility or convenience, have a direct conversation with an admissions advisor about what their actual completion support looks like — and get those answers in writing before signing anything.
