What are the graduation rates for students at Strayer University-District of Columbia?

Reported 2024-25 graduation measures for Strayer University-District of Columbia show 0% for the listed overall, four-year, and six-year rates. These figures require caution: conventional graduation-rate cohorts track specified groups of entering students and do not describe the outcome of every adult, part-time, or transfer student.

The same reporting information lists a 100% student retention rate, a different measure of whether students continued into a subsequent period. With only 188 students reported at the location, a small eligible cohort can make either percentage especially sensitive to the outcome of a few students. Neither statistic alone explains why students continue, stop, transfer, or complete a degree.

Applicants can ask for completion and persistence information for their intended credential and attendance pattern. A rate based on first-time students may be less informative for someone entering with substantial transfer credit.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Strayer University-District of Columbia?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures supplied for October 2026 report earnings one year after completion for certain Strayer programs. The figures are program-level indicators for graduates represented in the federal earnings data, not a salary forecast for every student at the District of Columbia location.

  • Information Science/Studies: $66,456.
  • Computer and Information Sciences, General: $59,686.
  • Accounting and Related Services: $47,363.
  • Business/Commerce, General: $47,245.
  • Criminal Justice and Corrections: $38,520.

These figures should not be interpreted as the added earnings caused by attending Strayer. Prior work experience, location, further education, and the jobs graduates pursue can all affect measured income. Because the figures describe fields of study rather than a verified DC-only graduating class, applicants should also examine the exact credential level and program attached to any figure they use for comparison.
