Press Release Summary: Online Education Solution Offers New “Subscription Style”
Pricing Strategy

Press Release Body: WASHINGTON D.C. – StraighterLine (www.straighterline.com), a new
online education solution that provides students a high quality, better supported,
and lower cost way to obtain college credits through regionally accredited colleges
and universities, has announced it will offer a new “subscription style” model for
course sales. The “StraighterLine for $99” program allows students to access all
StraighterLine courses for only $99 per month, with no start-up costs and no minimum
or maximum time limit for course completion. Students can select any one
StraighterLine course at a time. Upon completing a course, students may begin a new
course with no additional costs.

“StraighterLine for $99” differs from the company’s regular pricing of $399 per
course, each of which must be completed within six months. The chief advantage of
“StraighterLine for $99” over the normal cost is that for students who want to
finish just one course in three months or less, the “subscription style” model can
save them $100 or more from an already very affordable price for an online college
course.

StraighterLine offers four entry-level curriculum courses where credit can be
awarded: College Algebra, English Composition, Economics I and Accounting I. More
courses are planned for the future. Courses completed through the StraighterLine
program can be awarded college credit by regionally accredited partner colleges.
Student-earned credits may also be transferred to non-partner colleges that
recognize the StraighterLine’s partner’s courses as equivalent programs.

Additional information on the StraighterLine program can be found at
