About This School
Strayer University-North Carolina is a private for-profit institution located in Greensboro, North Carolina with approximately 2,671 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $13,920 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $53,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Strayer University-North Carolina is best suited for working adults — think parents, career-changers, or folks already in the workforce — who need flexible, career-focused coursework and don't have the option of attending a traditional four-year campus full-time. The business and technology programs have real practical value, and graduates do reach a median income of $53,500 within ten years, which is a livable outcome in the Greensboro area. That said, I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't flag the 33% graduation rate — meaning roughly two out of three students who start here don't finish — which is a serious concern worth sitting with before you commit. Pair that with a median debt load of $40,621 at graduation, and the math only works if you're highly confident you'll complete your degree and land in a field that rewards it. My honest advice: if you're a traditional-age student with other options, explore them first; if you're an adult learner who's truly assessed your ability to finish what you start here, go in with a clear plan, talk to an academic advisor early, and treat completion as non-negotiable.
