Strategic Education, Inc. is an education company that owns and runs colleges and professional training programs for adults. Its main schools include Strayer University and Capella University in the United States, along with Torrens University in Australia. It offers online and campus-based degrees, certificates, and career-focused programs in fields like business, technology, healthcare, and education.

The company mainly serves working adults who want to finish a degree, change careers, or move up in their jobs. It sells education directly to students and earns most of its money from tuition and related student fees. It also works with employers and government programs that help pay for workforce training and higher education.

What sets Strategic Education apart is its focus on adult learners rather than traditional college-age students. Its schools are built around flexible schedules, online delivery, and practical programs that fit around work and family life. That makes it a middle layer in the education system: it turns professional training and degrees into a service for people who need school to fit into busy adult lives.
