I'm planning to take some classes on StraighterLine before transferring to a college. Does anyone know which colleges are likely to accept those credits?
Sure! StraighterLine courses are a great way to earn college credit on your own schedule. They're a ed-tech company that partners with accredited colleges and universities to offer online courses that transfer as college credit.
Straight courses are evaluated and recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). However, it's important to note that the decision to accept these credits is always made by the institutions themselves.
As for which colleges accept StraighterLine credits, a good number of schools across the U.S. routinely accept these. These are some examples:
1. Western Governors University
2. Colorado State University-Global Campus
3. American Intercontinental University
4. DeVry University
5. Capella University
However, these are not the only colleges that may accept these credits. Many other schools may also recognize StraighterLine coursework for credit, particularly if StraighterLine has a partnership with the school. It's always a good idea to investigate if any specific colleges you're interested in have specific criteria for accepting these credits.
Keep in mind to contact the admissions office of the specific college you're interested in to ensure these credits are accepted, it varies by institution and sometimes by specific programs within an institution.
