Strayer University: Fredericksburg Campus

Strayer University’s Fredericksburg Campus is located in the homonymous independent city in the U.S Commonwealth of Virginia, Fredericksburg. Located on the Rappahannock River near the head of navigation at the fall line, the city of Fredericksburg developed as the frontier of colonial Virginia shifted west out of the coastal plain. Fredericksburg Campus is conveniently located, not only because the city is a part of the Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan Area but also because it is the commercial hub of a rapidly growing region in north central Virginia. Strayer University’s Fredericksburg Campus offers quality higher education programs for people in the area, and is especially focused in working adults.

Strayer University, which today is an institution made of 41 campuses in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington, D.C., has its roots in April 1892 when Dr. S. Irving Strayer founded Strayer’s Business College of Baltimore City. Expanding to Washington, D. C. in 1904, the college was eventually renamed Strayer College.
