The Shortest Distance Between You and Your Degree
Why StraighterLine Is Better For Some Than the University of Phoenix
Mention online college education with someone or search for the term in Google, and chances are excellent that the University of Phoenix will be mentioned. As the leading for-profit institution with both Internet and campus-based programs, it has become synonymous in many people’s minds as the top choice to take college programs online. But is it the best choice for everyone?
StraighterLine offers transferable entry-level curriculum courses that, when successfully completed, earn students required college credits from accredited colleges and universities. We readily acknowledge that our offerings are not yet as extensive as what the University of Phoenix has available. At the same time, we have other benefits already in place that they lack that make it a better option for those wanting introductory college learning online.
Take a look at some contrasts of the advantages SL provides versus the University of Phoenix:
• StraighterLine offers its courses at a flat rate of $399 each. The University of Phoenix charges $1,482 for its tuition and fees, according to its own Web site. We are definitely more affordable.
• SL allows a flexible time for each student to choose when to start their studies and when to complete them with up to six months of access. The University of Phoenix runs a fixed schedule that forces students to follow its pace, which several have complained is too fast to absorb the material presented. If you get behind in what they are teaching too late, there is no chance of recouping your money.
• SL has ready to go 24/7 live, on-demand instruction and course availability for students to employ at their convenience. The University of Phoenix has neither.
