What is the cost of studying for a year at Strayer University-District of Columbia?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Strayer University-District of Columbia was $13,725, with $195 in required fees. The published in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. These are historical annual figures, not a quote for a future enrollment term.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $13,920.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $339 per credit hour.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $15,135.
  • Reported part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $533 per credit hour.

Those charges do not represent a complete personal budget. Books and supplies, transportation, and living expenses add to the amount a student may need, while course load and program choice affect billed tuition. The reported room-and-board figure is a living-cost estimate, not a price for university housing; Strayer does not provide undergraduate housing at this location.

Financial assistance can change the amount ultimately paid. In the 2024-25 aid reporting, 83% of the reported student group received loans, while average grant aid from reported sources was $6,537. A loan must generally be repaid; a grant generally does not. Eligible students may explore federal grants and loans by completing the FAFSA, as well as applicable institutional assistance, employer tuition benefits, and military or veterans' education benefits. An individual financial-aid offer and a current program-specific tuition schedule are the appropriate basis for comparing costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Strayer University-District of Columbia?

Students considering work alongside study should distinguish a regular part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that, where offered and awarded, pays eligible students for approved employment; an award is not a guarantee of a position.

The available information does not establish a District of Columbia location-specific Work-Study job program. Students interested in it should ask financial aid whether their program and enrollment qualify, whether positions are available, and how jobs are posted. Earnings from ordinary employment may help meet expenses but are not themselves a financial-aid award.

Strayer also describes career support for students, including help with job-search planning and professional materials. Applicants who need a particular service - such as an individual career appointment, internship assistance, or access to employer postings - should confirm its current availability and whether it is provided online or at the DC location. Career services are support, not a verified employment outcome or job-placement promise.
