Earn Credits
By signing up for a membership and enrolling in your choice of StraighterLine courses, you can keep up momentum on your education, but all at your own pace. All of our courses — over 70 to choose from — are self-paced and online, meaning you can study what you need to, when you need to.

Transfer to Your College of Choice
Once you’ve completed your courses with StraighterLine, you can request a transcript. This transcript will show which courses you’ve taken and the credits you’ve earned. You can then submit this transcript to your college of choice, and they can evaluate your transfer credits and course equivalencies to award you credit toward your degree.
You’re eligible to receive credit by completing our courses due to credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE). ACE is one of the nation’s leading authorities on issues of higher education, and they evaluate nontraditional forms of learning to offer recommendations for transfer credit. They’ve reviewed over 35,000 courses.

Save Time & Money Along the Way
StraighterLine can help you save on your college degree — literally. Taking our online courses can help you save money over the course of your college career, helping you reach your goals without draining the bank. A course with StraighterLine starts at just $178 — the price of the course and our monthly membership fee. That’s just a fraction of the cost of a full-semester course at a traditional college or university.

Quality You Can Trust
StraighterLine pioneered low-cost online education for learners to have an alternative, affordable pathway to earn college credit. Because StraighterLine does not offer full degrees, we cannot seek accreditation. This allows us the ability to offer affordable and flexible courses in ways accredited colleges cannot.
All StraighterLine courses go through an intensive quality review process by the American Council on Education (ACE) and have received recommendations for ACE Credit, with the exception of a small set of college prep and certification training courses. Plus, all 150+ StraighterLine Partner Colleges are accredited, and many of them rank in the U.S. News & World Report’s Best Online Bachelor’s Programs.
