Strayer University-Texas

What is the history of Strayer University-Texas?

Strayer University-Texas is the Texas reporting unit of Strayer University, a private, for-profit institution whose history began well before its presence in Farmers Branch. The university traces its origins to Strayer's Business College, founded in Washington, D.C., in 1892 to provide practical business education.

The institution later expanded beyond business training into undergraduate and graduate degree programs and adopted the Strayer University name. Its Texas location should be understood as part of that larger university, not as a separately founded university with its own academic history. Strayer University is now part of Strategic Education, Inc., which also owns Capella University; the two universities remain distinct institutions.

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

Strayer University organizes its academics around career-oriented fields rather than the broad collection of colleges found at many residential universities. Its program offerings include business, accounting, information technology, education, and criminal justice, with credentials that vary by field and degree level.

Examples include undergraduate study in business administration, accounting, and information technology, as well as graduate options such as the Master of Business Administration. The Jack Welch Management Institute offers business education within Strayer University. Prospective students should check the current academic catalog for the precise school administering a program, its available credential, and whether required courses can be completed online or through their preferred Texas location. A program appearing in a university-wide catalog does not establish that every course meets in Farmers Branch.

What is the location of Strayer University-Texas?

Strayer University-Texas is associated with Farmers Branch, a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. For a student planning to use a physical location, the distinction between a nearby Strayer site and a course actually taught there matters: Strayer also delivers instruction online, and a program may combine different delivery arrangements.

Farmers Branch offers access to the region's employers and transportation network, but commuting time depends heavily on where a student lives and when classes or appointments meet. Before relying on a campus visit, applicants should confirm the current address, operating hours, and availability of in-person classes and student services for their intended term. The Farmers Branch location should not be assumed to provide the facilities of a residential college.

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

Strayer University presents its educational mission as providing accessible, career-relevant higher education, particularly for students balancing study with work and other responsibilities. Its emphasis on flexible delivery and applied subjects is consistent with that stated purpose, but a mission statement describes institutional goals, not a demonstrated outcome for every student.

Prospective students can evaluate that approach against concrete features of their chosen program: course scheduling, instructor access, academic support, total cost, and the time needed to complete required credits. Strayer is not identified here as a religiously affiliated institution.
