Strayer University-Virginia

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Strayer University-Virginia was $13,725 for the academic year, with $195 in required fees. Adding those reported charges gives $13,920 in tuition and required fees, before living expenses and other educational costs. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

Reported part-time undergraduate tuition was $339 per credit hour. Graduate tuition and required fees were reported separately, so applicants should not use the undergraduate figure to budget for a master's program. Published charges can change, and the price for a particular student depends on credit load, program requirements, and the applicable academic year.

Tuition and fees are not the full cost of attendance. Books or course materials, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses can add substantially to a student's budget, even when classes are online. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional awards, employer education benefits, or military and veterans benefits. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the starting point for determining eligibility for federal aid.

In 2024-25 reporting, 68% of students received student loans, and the average grant aid awarded to undergraduates from reported sources was $5,975. An average award is not a personal aid offer. Compare an individualized aid package with a current, itemized cost-of-attendance budget, and separate grants - which generally do not require repayment - from loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at Strayer University-Virginia?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based federal aid earned through approved employment; it is not a tuition discount paid automatically at enrollment.

The financial aid office can clarify whether a student's aid package includes Work-Study, how approved positions are posted, and whether any jobs are accessible to students taking courses online. A campus or community job that is not designated Work-Study is paid employment but does not use a Work-Study award. Internships require a separate check of pay, academic-credit rules, and time commitments.

Strayer's career-support resources are a different form of assistance. Students can use career advising and job-search resources to work on a résumé, explore roles, and prepare for applications. Access to guidance does not establish that an internship or job placement is guaranteed.
