“Together, StraighterLine and CSU-Global give Colorado students a very affordable way to fulfill early college courses and continue to a degree,” says Burck Smith, CEO of StraighterLine. “Whether adult students, students enrolled elsewhere needing pre-requisites, or high school students, college is now more affordable and more accessible than before.” “CSU-Global Campus has decided to partner with StraighterLine because of the opportunity to serve a population of students we are unable to reach on our own. Using their services, students can get the credits they need to transfer into our Bachelor’s Completion program and earn their degree. It is an affordable, accessible way for students in Colorado and beyond to better themselves and their futures” says Jenna Langer, Chief Operating Officer of CSU-Global Campus.

About StraighterLine StraighterLine is a leader in making a quality college education more affordable. StraighterLine’s programs are a great way to tackle the escalating cost of four-year college tuition and avoid a mountain of student debt. StraighterLine offers two innovative programs. The “Freshman Year for $999” program is designed to help college students and their families address rampant rising tuition costs of college education. Students can take up to 10 StraighterLine courses for a single fee of $999 and realize savings of more than 90% versus the first-year tuition at many colleges. Students can also enroll in a subscription package for $99 a month that allows students who can move the material even faster an opportunity for even greater savings. Both programs includes up to 10 hours of one-on-one instructional support. Students who successfully complete StraighterLine online college courses receive credit when they enroll with any school in our rapidly expanding network of regionally accredited partner colleges and universities. In addition, the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT - www.acenet.edu/acecredit/) has also evaluated and recommended college credit for StraighterLine courses. ACE CREDIT helps students gain access to academic credit at colleges and universities for formal courses and examinations taken in settings outside traditional higher education. StraighterLine also offers a tuition assistance program as a benefit for companies to provide to employees interested in earning their college degree.
