All StraighterLine courses have been reviewed and recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). On top of that, our partner colleges assess each course before approving it for transfer. Because of this, you can trust that the course curriculum, learning outcomes, and assessments uphold quality standards set by Western Governors University.
