History

Strayer University traces its roots to Strayer's Business College, which Siebert Irving Strayer opened in Baltimore in 1892 to teach shorthand, typing and accounting, and which added a Washington, D.C., branch in 1904. The school became Strayer College after gaining authority to award bachelor's degrees in 1969, began offering classes online in 1996, and was granted university status in 1998. In the 2000s it expanded well beyond the Washington area, eventually reaching Texas; its Texas unit, listed in federal education data as Strayer University-Texas in Arlington, serves the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and Strayer also lists a Northwest Houston campus. Owned by the publicly traded Strategic Education, Inc., Strayer focuses on degree programs for working adults.
