My first impulse is to say, "Hey kids, guess what you're doing this summer?"

Although... has anyone actually confirmed that these courses are transferrable? The term "challenge exam" to describe the way one earns credit at the end of the course is a little disconcerting.

It depends on how it's transcripted. Strayer challenge exams are accepted at TESU, but it's a huge hassle to do so.

Since these are intro courses, I wonder if these challenge exams are like TECEPS or UEXCELS... I am thinking they're more like those Sophia.org exams (open book, non-proctored). We'll find out, I haven't signed up just yet...
