Strayer Online

Enjoy the convenience of earning a degree at an accredited university without leaving your home or office! Strayer Online is not independent study but a true virtual classroom. Strayer Online is a division of Strayer University, offering online courses and degrees for students who want to pursue academic studies in order to enhance their careers and accomplish personal goals.

Virtual Classroom - Strayer Online classes are unique. Modeled after the traditional classroom, Strayer Online classes meet weekly, with students logging into a virtual classroom on the Internet. Students can hear their instructor deliver a lecture in live audio, and they have the opportunity to ask questions or dialogue with their classmates through real-time text-based communication. The instructor may use slides or a white board to illustrate their lectures. Enrollment in classes is limited; thus creating an academic environment that encourages discussion and active sharing of ideas and experiences.

Experienced Instructors - Instructors act as mentors, facilitators, and co-learners, as well as subject area experts. Many of Strayer's professors not only teach but also work in their fields and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom. Students appreciate the practical, real-world experience that professors share with their students.

Virtual Campus - Strayer University provides many online services for the convenience of students. Admission to the University can be accomplished by completing an online application form. Students can sign up for classes, apply for financial aid and scholarships, and order textbooks through the Strayer Web site. After a course is completed, students can check online for their grades. The virtual campus makes it convenient to attend class and earn a degree.

Strayer Online is a convenient solution for busy, working adults interested in taking a class or earning an undergraduate or graduate degree. All that is needed to attend online classes at Strayer University is a computer (either a desktop or laptop) and access to the Internet.
