“The New Jersey arm of Strayer University - a career-focused, open-admission private institution built around online and on-campus degrees for working adult learners.”
Strayer University-New Jersey is the New Jersey subsidiary of Strayer University, the private for-profit institution operated by NASDAQ-listed Strategic Education, Inc. and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. The New Jersey entity anchors at the Cherry Hill campus on State Route 70, a commuter location in southern New Jersey within the greater Philadelphia market, and historically operated additional sites in Piscataway and Lawrenceville. Total enrollment in New Jersey is small relative to Strayer's national footprint - on the order of 600 students, the vast majority studying part-time - but the campus serves as a regional hub for working adults pursuing Strayer's career-focused degrees while still able to pursue classroom instruction. Like the rest of the Strayer system, the New Jersey entity is built for adult learners rather than traditional 18-year-old residential students. Admission is effectively open: a high school diploma (or equivalent) and a completed enrollment agreement are the core requirements, no SAT or ACT scores are considered, and classes start on a rolling, term-based schedule throughout the year. Programs are concentrated in a handful of practical fields - business administration, accounting, information technology, criminal justice, education, health services administration, and public administration - and the university also houses the Jack Welch Management Institute, the online MBA and executive-education program that the Princeton Review has consistently ranked among the top online MBAs in the country. For international students, Strayer's value proposition is unusual: the New Jersey entity is one of the SEVP-certified locations authorized to issue F-1 I-20s, but Strayer also markets a 25%-50% off scholarship for non-US-citizen students who study online from their home country. The student experience is far more transactional than a traditional residential college - there is no campus quad, no NCAA sports, and no freshman housing - but tuition is comparatively low at roughly $339 per undergraduate credit hour, course schedules are flexible, and the New Jersey location adds the requirement of immunization documentation per state law. Note: New Jersey requires proof of immunization for in-person enrollment.
