    Does anyone have insite into Strayer University? I stumpled onto their website during my search for schools offering supply chain managment degrees. Any opinions? Do they have a brick and motar school or are they strictly on line?

    Brick-and-mortar and online. Proprietary. Used to be a trade school until it became a university. No reputation one way or another. Run-of-the-mill accredited school focused on working adults. If it looks like it will meet your needs, it probably will.

    Here in the Maryland area they run radio ads around the clock. They really go after the working adults that are looking to quickly complete a degree. I'd agree that they aren't great but they aren't bad either. If you need an accredited school without star name recognition, they'd suffice.

    Thanks for the input.

    Comparing Strayer with University of Phoenix or CSU-Dominquez Hills, which would you pick?

    Have you looked at Florida Tech:

    Of all the schools that I have looked at I enjoyed corresponding with these guys. Not sure if their logisitics program would work for you.

    I just don't like high pressure marketing when what I am really interested in pertains to class formats, content, etc...

    Value of the degree: CSU-DH

    Cost: CSU-DH

    You'll have to evaluate other factors, including learning methodology, convenience, curricular content, time-in-program, etc. These factors might sway you to one of the other two, or to even other programs.

    Easy.


    All else being equal. CSU-DH
    A better name, a better price, and a better choice.

    Nothing against either of the other schools.

    Strayer, Phoenix, or CSU-DH

    I took seven undergraduate courses at Strayer in the late '90s, through three of their Northern Virginia B&M campuses. Most were good, and Strayer is right for many people. I would have finished there had I not moved our of state. (Of course, now I know about the Big Three, but that doesn't help you as a Master's candidate.)

    Anyway, while I like Strayer, unless cost isn't a factor for you I can't imagine any reason not to prefer CSU-DH. Why pay more for something comparable?
