        STRAYER UNIVERSITY RECEIVES EARLY REAFFIRMATION OF ACCREDITATION
             FROM THE MIDDLE STATES COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION


ARLINGTON, Va., July 11, 2007 - Strayer Education, Inc. announced today that the
Middle States Commission on Higher Education has reaffirmed on an accelerated
basis the accreditation of Strayer University for a full ten-year period,
through 2017.

The Commission's decision to accelerate the University's reaffirmation was based
on its extensive review of the University's 2006 voluntary self study, and
eliminates the necessity for the Commission's accreditation review, previously
scheduled for 2011.

"We are very pleased with the 10-year reaffirmation of our accreditation by the
Middle States Commission on Higher Education," said Robert S. Silberman,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Strayer Education. "We also recognize
and appreciate the time and effort that Middle States has put forth in reviewing
and approving an early reaffirmation decision. Strayer University's goal has
always been to provide a high quality post-secondary education to its working
adult students. Early reaffirmation underscores our commitment to maintaining
only the highest academic standards for many years to come."

The company will discuss this and other updates during its previously scheduled
earnings call at 10:00 a.m. (ET) on July 26, 2007.

that owns Strayer University and certain other assets. Strayer's mission is to
