About This School

Strayer University-Tennessee is a private for-profit institution located in Memphis, Tennessee with approximately 1,784 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,645 per year. The graduation rate is 0%, and the typical graduate earns $53,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Working adults in Memphis looking for a flexible, career-focused degree — particularly in business or IT — are the students most likely to find value here, as this for-profit institution is built around that specific population. The net price of $11,645 per year is genuinely reasonable for a private school, and median earnings of $53,500 a decade out suggest graduates do find their footing professionally. That said, the 0% graduation rate is a serious red flag that demands an honest conversation — it almost certainly reflects how this school tracks and reports data for its non-traditional student body, but it also means you cannot confidently predict whether most students who start here actually finish. Carrying $40,621 in median debt without a clear graduation pipeline is a real financial risk, especially if life circumstances — work, family, finances — interrupt your studies before you complete the degree. My honest advice: if you're considering this school, go in with a very concrete completion plan, ask the admissions office directly how many students in your program graduate and in what timeframe, and explore whether a community college or regional public university might offer a similarly flexible path with better-documented outcomes.
