Strayer University-Georgia

What is the history of Strayer University-Georgia?

Strayer University-Georgia is the Georgia location of Strayer University, a private, for-profit institution whose history began with career-oriented business education. S. Irving Strayer founded Strayer's Business College in Baltimore in 1892. The institution later expanded beyond business training, adopted the Strayer University name, and developed degree programs delivered through campuses and online.

That history helps explain the university's emphasis on working adults and career-related fields. Prospective students should distinguish Strayer University's institution-wide history from the history of its Chamblee location: the original college was not founded in Georgia.

What are the faculties and departments at Strayer University-Georgia?

Strayer University organizes its programs around career-oriented areas rather than a broad range of residential-university departments. Its offerings include business and accounting, information technology, criminal justice, and education-related study, with associate, bachelor's, and graduate-level options varying by program.

Examples of fields represented in its program listings include business administration, information science, computer and information sciences, accounting, and criminal justice. Strayer also offers graduate management education through the Jack Welch Management Institute. A program's presence in the university catalog does not mean every course is taught in person at Chamblee. Applicants should check the catalog for the credential, required courses, delivery format, and any Georgia-specific restrictions before enrolling.

What is the location of Strayer University-Georgia?

Strayer University-Georgia is identified with Chamblee, a community in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Its location may be convenient for students who live or work in the region, but attendance should not be understood as a conventional residential-campus experience.

Chamblee is served by MARTA rail and regional roads. Whether transit is practical depends on the location and timing of a student's classes or appointments. Because Strayer combines online learning with location-based services, applicants should confirm which activities require a trip to the Georgia location and which can be completed remotely.

What is the mission and vision of Strayer University-Georgia?

Strayer University describes its educational purpose in terms of accessible, career-relevant education for adults seeking to advance their knowledge and professional options. Its approach emphasizes flexible delivery and the application of coursework to work-related goals.

Those are institutional priorities, not evidence that any particular student will receive a promotion or change careers after graduating. For applicants, the practical question is whether a specific program's curriculum, schedule, and credential match the requirements of the jobs they hope to pursue. Strayer University is not presented as a religiously affiliated institution.
