Program Evaluation and Development

Strayer University offers academic programs consistent with its mission and core values: effective adult learning and rigorous academic standards; a supportive learning environment that enables adults to achieve their professional and personal goals;superior customer service; and educational access to all desiring and qualified adults.

The University regularly reviews all degree granting programs and uses assessment tools designed to improve student learning. Students and alumni play an important role in shaping the curriculum by participating in surveys and focus groups and by providing individual feedback.

New academic program proposals are presented by the faculty and College Deans to the Academic Policy and Curriculum Committee for review. New programs are approved internally by the University President and the Board of Trustees and are reviewed externally by state licensing agencies and accreditors. The University President and College Deans ensure consistent implementation of program revisions and new programs University-wide.
