What is StraighterLine?
We’re an online education platform built around your goals so that you can call the shots when it comes to your education. We offer affordable, self-paced college courses — meaning you can take classes required for your degree without worrying about timelines or deadlines, and without breaking the bank. Plus, credits from our courses easily transfer to many colleges and universities.
Why is StraighterLine so affordable?
We keep things simple — the courses we offer are fully online, meaning we don’t have all the overhead costs associated with traditional colleges (which colleges then pass on to you). This makes it possible for us to deliver high-quality, self-paced courses to you at their most affordable price.
How do I transfer StraighterLine credit?
StraighterLine courses have been accepted for credit at 3000+ institutions, including the majority of colleges in every state. You can easily request a StraighterLine transcript be sent to your school at any time through your dashboard. Just a heads up: It's always a good idea to check with your school in advance to figure out which StraighterLine courses line up with your degree requirements.
What is included in a StraighterLine course?
Everything you need to succeed — eTextbooks, tutoring, practice tests, and a dedicated support team are all included! While course topics and materials may vary, each course includes reading assignments, lesson presentations, review and reflection activities, homework assignments, and more to help you nail the key concepts and finish strong.
