Strayer University-Global Region
For-profit College in Washington, DC. Six-year graduation rate 15%. Median 10-year earnings $40,092.
Students who entered Strayer University-Global Region reach a median of $40,092 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. Only 15% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Debt is the pressure point: a median of $40,621 at graduation. Mobility is where this school separates itself: 3.2% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 15% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention is 60% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. With 54% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. Retention drops to 41% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 10,087 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,258 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,833 at $0–30k against $20,293 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 96% receive grants worth $4,885 on average. 57% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
