Strayer University-Pennsylvania

Academics
Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. With 50% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The 47:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate body is just 1,334, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
