Strayer University

Overview

Strayer University was founded by Dr. S. Irving Strayer. He set up a small college in Maryland called Strayer's Business College of Baltimore City in 1892. The school has since expanded its educational programs and services. It has opened 47 more branches in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Washington D.C.

When the school became licensed to grant Bachelor of Science degrees in 1969, the school was renamed as Strayer College. In 1987, the school began giving Master of Science degrees.
