What Students Are Saying
Let’s Be Real: Traditional College Is Too Expensive
The average bachelor’s degree in the U.S. runs between $30,000–$100,000 — and student loan debt now totals over $1.7 trillion nationwide. For too many students, that means decades of payments, financial stress, and dreams put on hold.
That’s why StraighterLine and University of the People teamed up to create the $5K Degree — a real, affordable alternative that delivers the same quality and credibility without the crushing price tag.
Here’s how it works:
- Save Thousands: Earn your bachelor’s degree for around $5K — not $50K (or more).
- Transfer Credits Easily: StraighterLine courses are pre-approved to transfer directly to UoPeople.
- Flexible & Online: Complete courses on your schedule, from anywhere.
Finally, a degree that fits your life and budget — not the other way around.
