How it Works: Take Required Courses


At StraighterLine, we've completely rethought required college coursework - those courses that you need in order to start your major and proceed to your degree.

Because that's all we do, we can provide you with a better and less expensive experience than a traditional college or online education program.

Here's what we offer:

  • High Quality Courses:

    Required college courses are our only focus. StraighterLine's Course Design Team produces top-notch curriculum that gives you the foundation you need to succeed in future courses.
  • Real College Credit:

    It's your choice--if you choose to, our regionally accredited Partner Colleges award college credit upon successful completion of StraighterLine courses - credits that may be able to be transferred to the college where you will complete your degree. Or select a no-credit option and use StraighterLine as a highly supported preparation course for the CLEP test.
  • Total Flexibility:

    Our fully online courses have no fixed start or due dates, no required meeting times, no on-campus requirements or team projects. You work when you want to and at your own pace.
  • Individualized Support:

    You won't get lost in a giant lecture hall here. Whether you need personal, on-demand instruction from one of our Online Educators or guidance on the credit transfer process from one of our Course Advisors, we're always right there with help when you need it.
  • Affordability:

    With no unnecessary or hidden fees, our courses cost less than a comparable course at a traditional college or university.
  • Challenging Curricula:

    Make no mistake; the course(s) you take through StraighterLine represent a rigorous, but exciting, learning experience. You will be challenged to perform to the best of your ability, but you will move on to your degree program with the skills and abilities needed to perform at advanced levels.
