Undergraduate Associate and Bachelor's Degree

The registrar's office will review a student's degree conferral status when the student is nearing the completion of their undergraduate associate degree or bachelor's degree academics requirements. For most bachelor's degree students, this will be when the student enrolls in their capstone course, which by design is meant to be taken as the last or next-to-last course. If the student's bachelor's degree program does not have a capstone, and for all undergraduate associate degree students, this will be a comparable course that is the last or next-to-last course.

A mandatory, nonrefundable Final Academic Requirements Evaluation Fee will be assessed to all bachelor's degree students when they enroll in their capstone course, or if a capstone does not exist, the comparable last or next-to-last course. The fee is not assessed for undergraduate associate degree students.

Degrees are conferred only after evaluation and approval by the registrar's office. The following general requirements must be met in order to be evaluated by the registrar's office:

1. Complete at least 90 quarter credit hours of course work for an associate degree and 180 quarter credit hours of course work for a bachelor’s degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
2. Complete the minimum number of quarter credit hours in residence at Strayer University (associate degrees: 27.0 quarter credit hours; bachelor's degrees: 54.0 quarter credit hours).
3. Meet specified academic requirements, including the quarter credit hour and course requirements for each area within the degree program. Final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements lies with the student.
4. Complete with a grade of C (2.0) or higher, or P, in all courses in the student’s major and concentration. Also, students must receive a grade of C or higher in ENG 090, ENG 115 or ENG 116, ENG 201 or ENG 215, ENG 315, and MAT 104 or MAT 110, as applicable, regardless of whether the student is taking the course to satisfy a core program requirement or an elective.
5. Complete with a C (2.0) or higher, or P, all courses in the student's minor.
