Stratford University was a private university based in Virginia. Founded in 1976, Stratford delivered online, classroom, and blended online/classroom programs.[3] It closed at the end of the Fall 2022 semester after losing its accreditation.[4][5]
Stratford University had two campuses in Virginia (Alexandria and[6] Woodbridge),[7] a campus in Baltimore, Maryland,[8][9] and a campus in New Delhi, India.[10] The majority of the student body was non-traditional and worked full-time while attending school. Stratford's international student body represented over thirty countries.[11] Approximately 20 percent of the student body was international and 20 percent was military.
The Stratford campus in India was a joint venture with the Modi Group, created to offer residential American degrees in India. The legal name of the Indian joint venture is Modi Stratford Education Management (MSEM), Pvt. Ltd. The Modi Stratford Foundation, a wholly owned non-profit subsidiary of MSEM, delivered the academic programs in India as an overseas campus of Stratford University.[12]
