I just heard about this site tonight. I start WGU on the 1st. Wish I would have found it sooner and knocked out a bunch of the general classes.

Online Courses - Distance Learning Courses - Online Classes for College Credit - StraighterLine - StraighterLine

Has anyone else heard of or used this site?

    "While accreditation applies to colleges and universities that provide full degree programs, it doesn't apply to StraighterLine because we aren't a college, and we don't award degrees—we simply offer courses and tests that are transferable for college credit. Since we can't rely on accreditation to “prove” our academic quality, we go to even greater lengths to ensure that our courses meet universally accepted higher education standards. In other words, we make sure they measure up."

    Yes WGU does except the courses infact they have a great chart that shows which classes they offer directly transfer to WGU classes. You can search on their website.

    Yes, WGU is a partner school with SL. It's a good, inexpensive way to build up transfer credits.
