History
S. Irving Strayer founded a small Maryland college in 1892, Strayer's Business College. In 1969, the school was renamed Strayer College when it received licensure to grant the Bachelor of Science degree. Authorization to grant the Master of Science degree followed in 1987. In 1996, Strayer Education, Inc., was established to take Strayer College public and raise capital for expansion. This expansion included the ability to offer online classes to students around the world. In 1998, Strayer College was granted university status by the District of Columbia Education Licensure Commission and became Strayer University.
Currently, Strayer University has more than 75 campuses, to include locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.[3]
According to MSNBC, Strayer and DeVry Institute produced the most students with degrees in computer science of any college in America in 2001.[4]
On May 29, 2008, Strayer University installed Sondra F. Stallard as the University’s 13th president. Stallard joined Strayer University after serving as an academician at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, most recently as dean of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies.[5]
