The University’s Chattanooga location will be
its fifth campus in Tennessee, and will provide in-person support
to busy adult learners who often juggle work and caring for
family
Today, Strayer University hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to
announce the grand opening of its new campus in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The new campus will be the University’s fifth campus in Tennessee,
and will provide programs that offer working adults flexible and
affordable higher education options. Winter classes will begin
January 2.
Located at 728 Market Street, the Chattanooga campus is right in
the city center and is easily accessible for busy adults. The
campus’s hybrid model will feature collaborative spaces for
students to meet with peers and faculty and access student support
resources, career development opportunities and one-on-one
financial advising to empower students to succeed beyond the
classroom.
“We’re excited to bring our 125+ years of experience providing
higher education for working adult students to the local
Chattanooga community,” said Dr. Michael Plater, President Emeritus
of Strayer University. “Our new hybrid campus model offers students
the best of online and in-person education. Students will now have
access to programs designed to support their workforce
preparedness, including resume building workshops and interview
prep sessions.”
While nearly 90% of Strayer students take some or all classes
online, the University found its students who live near a campus
tend to complete their courses and continue into their next terms
at higher rates than students who do not live near a campus.
Over the past two years, Strayer University has launched hybrid
campuses across nine states so its students have better access to
in-person support. The Chattanooga campus opening follows the
recent relocation of the Nashville, Tenn., campus in July 2019.
Additional campuses in Tennessee include one in Knoxville and two
in Memphis. Strayer University has more than 75 campuses nationwide
and enrolls more than 50,000 students.
Strayer University offers associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s
degrees, with a range of courses including criminal justice,
business administration, education, information technology, and
more.
