At a time when a year of college can cost as much as a luxury car, StraighterLine Inc. offers a cheap alternative: online courses starting at $138 a month, or $999 for a year of “101”-style classes typically taken by freshmen, ranging from mathematics to English to business statistics.

From DSC:
I congratulate StraighterLine at being innovative — at making a college education much more accessible/affordable. As of November 1, 2010, StraighterLine continues to be the best candidate for the Forthcoming Walmart of Education.
