"the whole "for-profit college" industry is rife with high-promise, low-result schools such as Strayer and the University of Phoenix and hundreds of others like them ... the only thing they're really known for is their aggressive recruiting practices and exorbitant tuition. Strayer -- headquartered in Virginia with satellites all over the Southeast -- is not accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools ( http://www.sacscoc.org ), the regional body that accredits every college and university from Virginia to Texas. This includes every NC college and university both large and small, public and private, from the two-year "Tech" colleges like Wake Tech, to PhD-granting research universities like Duke and NC State. Even more telling: As a so-called "business college", how can Strayer rationalize not having accreditation from AACSB ( http://www.aacsb.edu ) ? -- What MBA or accounting degree is even worth the paper it's printed on, if the the defacto standard for accrediting legitimate business schools won't speak for it? Similarly, Strayer's MPA degrees are not accredited by NASPAA, the public administration standards body ( http://www.naspaa.org/ ) I would advise anyone to seriously reconsider paying $1800 a course for grad school to get an unaccredited degree. The fact is, you pay for reputation of the education institution. Places like Strayer, University of Phoenix, Monroe, etc. etc. have very poor reputations -- both in the eyes of industry and as evidenced by the students themselves."
