$1,200 Per Course? Not with StraighterLine
Taking a single college course at a public 4-year college typically costs $1,200 for in-state students — often much more if you’re out of state or attending a private university. With StraighterLine, you can take that same course online for a fraction of the price.
No matter if you choose Pay as You Go or any of the Unlimited plans, you can save over $1,000 per course compared to taking them directly with your school. More than 350,000 students have saved a collective $300 million on tuition.
