UMGC TUITION DISCOUNT : A special offer to students who successfully complete at least 4 StraighterLine courses, the UMGC Partner Tuition Discount earns you a 25% tuition discount on future UMGC courses, which represents a value of up to 58% off the full bachelor’s degree nonresident tuition price of $59,880.

Cost savings were calculated as follows:
Full UMGC tuition for bachelor degree programs is $59,880. To qualify for the StraighterLine UMGC Tuition Discount, students can take 4 StraighterLine courses for an approximate cost of $592, plus approximately 36 UMGC courses for a cost of $49,140. Subtracting the 25% tuition discount brings this total to $37,447, for a 31% savings.
Taking MAX StraighterLine courses costs approximately $2,960. Students would take the remaining courses at UMGC, for a total of approximately $23,435 minus the 25% discount, for a grand total of $23,435 (does not include additional UMGC fees). This represents a total MAX savings of 58%.
StraighterLine MAX Course Savings calculation is based on taking 20 StraighterLine courses, and an estimated StraighterLine per course price of $148, consisting of a $99 subscription fee and a $49 course enrollment fee. A 3-credit StraighterLine course is estimated to require approximately 75 hours of study time. Dedicating 17-20 hours per week should allow a student to finish a 3-credit StraighterLine course within a single month, but that estimate is not guaranteed, and individual experience may differ. Students who take longer than this estimated time will incur an additional $99 for each month they are active in StraighterLine courses. The foregoing prices do not include books or other fees.
