Most colleges don't have much to offer very bright students. Self-study is a better option for them. I hope this article inspires some to take the road less traveled....

Good job, ryoder!

Hey, does anyone know if their Staighterline credit will transfer over to a non-partner college? I am attending FIU and I wanted to do a couple of the SL courses so I was wondering they will really transfer over.:confused:

Good news. FIU is listed on the ACE site as a school that accepts ACE credits.
ACE CREDIT | The National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training | Colleges and Universities

Ask your advisor and if they don't know what ACE is, talk to the registrar until you get a definitive answer.

Exactly ask before you enroll in SL classes. Broward College is on the ACE list, but when I asked you have to be enrolled in the military so they can accept anything on the ACE transcript.
