PITTSBURGH — The University of Pittsburgh announced Tuesday that it would be extending its partnership with a Brooklyn-based startup to offer transfer credits for online classes.

The startup is Outlier.org, which provides lectures taught by professors from schools such as Yale, MIT and Columbia. Students pay $400 for access to the online class, which also includes one-on-one tutoring, A.I.-proctored assessments, and dynamically-generated problem sets. The company and Pitt announced back in August 2019 that a pilot program would run in the fall semester; Pitt has now extended that partnership with Outlier through the spring and summer terms.
