Recommended by My Master's Program
The school I applied to for my master's program recommended StraighterLine as a reasonably priced option for taking Anatomy & Physiology. I liked that it was self-paced, and I could take it while living in another country!

StraighterLine Helped Me Save $1,300
StraighterLine helped me finish a class I needed while in nursing school and helped me save about $1300. Thank you, StraighterLine!

Great course
Great course, and I needed a self-paced course based on my schedule. The lab kit contains everything you need, and it’s pretty fun to let any younger kids you have in your life watch or assist with experiments. The course itself is straightforward; you submit lab reports and they get graded within 3-5 days. As with many self-taught courses, you’ll get as much out of the course as you put in.
