I just checked the ace site and it shows that the course is no longer offered.
I don't know for sure though.
I took it in February and it satisfied TESC's requirement for sys analysis.
PF also has a 1 credit systems design course which I took but it is 300 dollars and the 2 credit course will suffice.
You will have to call both Penn Foster and talk to the registrar at TESC to confirm if you can use this course.
If you don't have an ACE account, create one and take some time to learn how to do course searches on the site.

The CLEP Info Sys course fulfills the BSBA requirement for a computer class or could be used as a natural science requirement if you have something else that fits. Even the MIS DSST is considered a natural science course and I used it for my Nat Sci degree this year.
