Students have been reporting that StraighterLine is helping them get into their colleges of choice.

If  are eager to take your StraigherLine success to the next level, we urge you to investigate all of our Partner Colleges.

Why did Governor Pawlenty’s relatively tame comments about "iCollege" rankle people?  It could be because people have a hard time accepting the idea that the definition of a college is about to change. 

On June 17, MyFox9 News in Minneapolis/Saint Paul told the story of StraighterLine . . . 

It’s a brave new pajama world of higher education. So be pajama brave – and wear anything you want. 

It’s a brave new world of college education out there. Perhaps it’s because American students and their families have discovered ways to shop for the best college education at the lowest price. If that doesn’t represent progress, what does? 

So if your college counselor doesn’t know about StraighterLine, perhaps you should mention it. It’s a tool for college success that he or she should know about. 

 Why not take advantage of the biggest educational handout in history?

Consider staying at a hotel that offers suite-style accommodations. In a suite, you’ll have more room to set up an area for study – possibly in a different room from the one where your family or fellow travelers will sleep.

There’s no need to apply to an American college, get a student visa to study here, find housing in America – or even buy an airplane ticket. You simply enroll and start to study. What could be easier than that?

Offering online courses, like those offered by StraighterLine, would be certain to boost employee satisfaction and retention. With college costs soaring higher and higher, it is an idea whose time has come.

Will more institutions jump in and find new ways to combine high school with college? We think so. It is an idea whose time has come. 

Brian Corman, a valedictorian at Columbia, gave a great graduation speech. The only problem was, it was a little too great. Turns out he had lifted a lot of it from a comedy routine that he had found on YouTube.
