Southeastern University offers certificates, Associate's, Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Business Management, Computer Science and Information Technology, Public Administration and Liberal Studies.

Southeastern University has an entrepreneurial essence that is reflected in both the programs it offers to students and the unique quadmester system of classes. The University has a primary focus on preparing students for excellence in business, technology and government by providing strong practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge. Its unique quadmester system of days, nights, weekends and online courses is particularly appealing to working adults interested in broadening their skill sets for career advancement. The quadmester system, combined with an extensive offering of online courses, enables students to earn their graduate degree in only 18 months.

The University offers higher education to residents in the Washington Metropolitan Area that is affordable and accessible. Approximately 54% of the students living in the District of Columbia. Its close proximity to metro, public transportation and federal agencies such as the Departments of Transportation and Health and Human Services, make it ideally situated for employees wanting to pursue degree programs or take refresher classes.

Full-time tuition at the undergraduate level is $3,060.00 and at the graduate level is $3,840.00. On-line courses are offered at a slightly higher level of $3,660.00 at the undergraduate level and $4,440.00 at the graduate level.
