Strayer University - RA credit source

[rachel83az]

Inspired by the free term that Strayer is offering + the knowledge of Strayer challenge exams, I decided to do some calculations. If Strayer forces you to actually pay for one of their courses in order to be considered a student, doing this is worth serious consideration especially if any of the challenge exams that would apply to your degree are worth UL credits.

For instance, there are 6 challenge exams that can apply to a computer science degree. One of those is upper-level. Assuming you pass all the exams (you get ONE shot), 6 exams + 1 course = 21 semester credits for $1600. Take one TEL Learning course and you've got your 24 RA credits. Finish off your degree with Sophia and SDC.

Then transfer to tesu for computer science ? Cause don’t you have to be Accepted and enrolled in a degree program at strayer to Get the winter term. Am I correct ?

CAuse strayer doesn’t offer a computer science degree that in aware of. They offer information technology which is great if that’s what you going for.

That would be the idea, yes. I wrote up a page on the wiki about how it should work, in theory: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/St...University

Admittedly, there is guesswork involved. None of this is guaranteed. We know that there are challenge exams for $20 and courses at Strayer cost $1480 each. It's the rest that may or may not work.

Have you read this link ?

Looks like it may definitely be a challenge.

Bad link, doesn't lead anywhere.

I'm definitely not saying that this would be easy. But, with the apparent loss of Linear Algebra as a viable UL course option, this could be a potential way to go.

Also possibly a good option for the handful of people who show up here with knowledge of business/finance and just need a degree to show it. Lots of business challenge exams.

Absolutely. I understand.

Ah! Yes. That one. I did take that possibility into account when creating the plan and considering the math. A course at Strayer is 11 weeks and that is plenty of time to take 6 challenge exams as long as you've prepared ahead of time for this. It's not going to work for everyone, but it's a good possibility for students who can make it work for them.

Yes. I hope to hear from someone who Nailed it.
