Strayer Challenge Exams

[rebel100]

If you think they're too expensive then that's fair enough; like you I don't recommend schools that are costly when less expensive equivalents are available. And I took courses there, but finished elsewhere, and cost was a big reason. But there's a difference between that position, which is defensible, and referring to them as "predatory", which is not.

They hunt students such as military (who have access to particular pools of federal money), and less prepared students ((one might argue this is the students fault I guess) who are promised funding and other assistance. They then deliver high drop out rates and severe debt. They are cut from the same cloth as Corinthian and UofP. I'll stick with "predatory", I think it describes their practice. They are roundly lauded as "better then UofP" so I guess there's that! I'm glad you made it out in tact, many students don't appear to have been so lucky.

Here US News infers that Strayer follows "predatory" practices For-Profit Colleges Must Crack Down on Predatory Practices - US News " This has become big business. Taxpayer money has lined the pockets of millionaires—the top executives of the top 15 for-profit colleges pulled in $2 billion last year. The president of Strayer University was awarded a package of $41.9 million"

Still...if these challenge exams hold up they would seem an interesting alternative/augment to other CBE.
