The Honors Program

The Honors Program at Strayer University recognizes undergraduate students' superb academic achievement and provides the opportunity for an enriched academic experience both inside and outside of the classroom.

Honors Courses

Eligible undergraduate students have the opportunity to enroll in select online honors courses. These online courses are taught by our premier faculty and open only to honors students. There are fewer students in each honors section, providing more opportunity for engagement with your professor and classmates. Faculty have the opportunity to fine-tune the course, but may not add more work. Honors courses provide eligible students with an engaging environment that covers the same course content, but with a greater emphasis on real-world application.

Honors Connect

Honors Connect events are opportunities outside of the classroom, virtual and on-ground, aimed to enhance honors students' overall experience at Strayer. They may be professional development, networking, social, or leadership opportunities.

Honors Community

Honors students are invited to engage with other honors students in an exclusive online Honors Community. Students are encouraged to socialize, share success stories, resources, opportunities, ask questions, network, create study groups, plan meet ups, and more!

To be eligible for the Honors Program, students must have a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA and must have completed a minimum of 13.5 college-level quarter credits. Developmental courses do not count toward this credit requirement.

Transfer students who meet these eligibility requirements are eligible for the Honors Program after successfully completing one quarter at Strayer and maintaining a 3.5 GPA. Please note that GPAs do not "transfer" to Strayer; therefore, you must establish a minimum 3.5 GPA at Strayer.
