Nine StraighterLine courses that land at Strayer’s 300 level
Strayer’s table stands out for how many rows land upper-division: ACC 350 Cost Accounting, BUS 302 Management Concepts, BUS 309 Business Ethics, BUS 322 Organizational Behavior, ENG 315 Professional Communications, MAT 300 Statistics (from either statistics course), MAT 310 Calculus I, and SOC 300 from Cultural Anthropology. For business students, these are the rows where a low-cost course replaces an upper-level requirement.

- 2Pick one statistics courseBusiness Statistics and Intro to Statistics both become MAT 300.

Path 2You’re already a Strayer student

Strayer is where StraighterLine’s business catalog climbs highest: nine rows land at the 300 level, which makes them the most valuable purchases for business and management students. The two traps are duplicates — both statistics courses become MAT 300 — and the accounting naming quirk, where Financial Accounting maps to Managerial Accounting. Current students should audit remaining upper-division requirements before buying.
