Outcomes Overview
Strayer graduates carry a median debt of $40,621, nearly matching their first-year median earnings of $40,341. Monthly loan payments of $431 consume about 13% of typical graduate income. The 24% loan repayment rate signals financial stress for many borrowers. Strayer targets working adults seeking career advancement in business, IT, and healthcare fields. The 93% employment rate looks impressive until you consider many students were already working when they enrolled. Ten years post-graduation, median earnings reach $40,092, barely covering the debt accumulated. For a career-focused institution, these outcomes represent a weak return on investment compared to community colleges or state universities offering similar programs.
