In addition to taking the online class anytime of the day, you can further customize your schedule by choosing between synchronous or asynchronous schedule. With the synchronous schedule, you log in to a particular class at the same day and time each week while the asynchronous allows you to log in any time during the week to be considered “present.” It is best to log in as early in the week as possible to give yourself the maximum time for assignments, forums, and group discussions.
To study through Strayer University, you must demonstrate basic English and math proficiency. After that, you can take major related courses in any order you choose as long as you keep in mind that some courses do have pre-requisites.

They also have undergraduate diploma and graduate certificate programs for those who simply need a course or two in a particular discipline.

Masters’ Degrees
Most of Strayer University’s bachelor degree programs can be continued at the graduate level. The master’s degrees allow you to specialize in particular areas that enhance and extend your bachelor’s degree studies. Thus, after completing the Bachelor of Business Administration, you could enroll in the Master of Business Administration program, and choose to focus on Acquisition, Finance, Hospitality and Tourism, Human Resources, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management. The Master of Education program would lead to Education Management or Technology in Education. The Master of Science in Information systems program offers six different master’s degree possibilities.
Executive Graduate Certificate Programs
The Executive Graduate Certificate program is unique in that it is intended for students who already have either a bachelor or master’s degree and simply need additional education, either to improve their own career performance or to satisfy continuing education requirements that are becoming increasingly common in many fields. These programs are available in Business Administration, Information Systems and Professional Accounting.
Undergraduate Diplomas and Certificates
Undergraduate diplomas and certificates are for people who need continuing education credit, specific courses to be eligible for job promotions or changes in position, or for those who want to begin earning some college education but don’t want to commit to a degree program. Usually, a certificate or diploma program allows you to take only the major related courses, saving the general education core for a later time after you have decided exactly what type of career you want. The credits earned as part of the certificate are usually transferable to the degree program.
Funding at Strayer University
Strayer University participates in the traditional State and Federal funding programs. However, a first stop should be with your own employer as many employers will reimburse you for the cost of education used to improve your own job performance within the company. You may also be eligible for private scholarships, military scholarships and private as well as government sponsored student loans.
