I'm new here, and I tried searching for this and didn't come up with anything definitive.
I'm on a very limited budget right now, and I'm trying to get some credits toward a degree. I've enrolled in University of the People because it is tuition free and I only have to pay for final exams, but it is nationally accredited and not regionally, so I'd like to also get some real credits that will transfer.
I've looked at Straighterline and ALEKS, and I was wondering what the major differences are between the two. Why is Straighterline $99 per month PLUS the cost of each individual course, while ALEKS, which is straight ACE credits, is only $20 per month? Am I missing something?
