Careers
Strayer University is committed to helping students reach their career goals. Through the University’s Career Center, students have access to a wide range of complimentary services and resources. These resources have been carefully selected to assist students in preparing for future professional positions. Although the intent is to actively engage students in the career development process, participation in career development activities and/or completion of any Strayer University program does not guarantee a student will find employment after graduation.
Career resources and services offered to students and alumni are detailed at http://ucc.strayer.edu and include:

Campus-based Career Resources
Additional resources are located in the Learning Resources Center (LRC). Each campus has a Career Resources Area which includes books, periodicals, and local job listings. The Learning Resources Center Manager on each campus is trained and available to provide resume critiques and assist students with the many career related resources found on campus and online. LRC Managers frequently organize on campus Career Networking Events bringing together students, alumni, and employers.
A corporate Career Services team supervises and trains the LRC Managers in the delivery of career resources and supports all the online systems and communications with students and alumni.
