It's all about you, the student. It’s about providing you with a flexible and
affordable college education. It’s about putting you on a straighter line to
the exact same quality degree from a top online and accredited college, in the
field and ultimately the career of your choice.
Whether you are starting on the road to your degree, adding new skills to
advance your career, coming back to college after life got in the way, or you
just need a couple of courses to graduate, StraighterLine is here to help.
StraighterLine was founded in 2009, by Burck Smith as a solution to the rising
costs of college education. Burck set out to discover why prices for online
courses were the same or higher than those of face-to-face courses. Using
relationships with colleges, publishers and policy-makers forged in his 15
years of online higher education experience, Burck created Straighterline, as
a way for students to get low-priced, high-quality college credit.
To date, our students have transferred 26,000+ StraighterLine credits to
America’s top universities for career-focused adults. This year, 10,000
students just like you will take StraighterLine courses before getting their
degree and advancing their careers.
With 50+ Partner colleges automatically accepting your credits when you
enroll, at StraighterLine you never have to worry about credit transfers or
course equivalency.
