Strayer University-Tennessee

What is the history of Strayer University-Tennessee?

Strayer University-Tennessee is part of Strayer University, an institution whose history began with a business college founded in Baltimore in 1892. It is not a separate university founded in Memphis.

Strayer's origins in business education help explain its continuing emphasis on career-oriented subjects such as business, accounting and information technology. The institution later adopted the Strayer University name and expanded beyond its original location. Applicants comparing historical claims with today's offerings should distinguish the university's institution-wide history from the history and current services of its Memphis location.

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

Strayer University organizes its academic offerings around business, technology, education and related professional fields. Prospective students should use the current university catalog to identify which credentials and courses are available to them through the Tennessee location, online, or both.

Representative areas include business administration, accounting, information systems, computer and information sciences, criminal justice and education. Strayer offers undergraduate and graduate study, but a subject appearing in institutional or federal reporting does not establish that every credential in that subject is currently open for admission in Memphis. The catalog is also the place to check prerequisites, course formats and any requirements beyond the degree's general curriculum.

What is the location of Strayer University-Tennessee?

Strayer University-Tennessee is associated with Memphis, Tennessee. Its practical setting is that of an urban institution serving students who may combine coursework with jobs and other responsibilities, rather than a traditional residential campus.

Strayer operates across multiple locations and online, so applicants should confirm where their specific courses, advising appointments and any required in-person activities will take place. For a student planning to commute, the relevant comparison is between the published course schedule and the travel time to the particular Memphis facility - not simply the distance to Memphis.

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

Strayer University describes its educational purpose in terms of accessible, career-relevant higher education for working adults and other students seeking professional advancement. That stated purpose is consistent with its emphasis on business and technology programs and flexible delivery formats.

A mission statement describes what an institution intends to do; it is not evidence that a particular student will obtain a job, promotion or salary increase. Applicants can assess how well the stated approach fits their needs by examining course schedules, instructor interaction, academic support and the requirements of a specific degree.
