Sometimes the learning you have done academically, professionally, or personally doesn't come with a transcript or any other form of documentation. This program allows you to demonstrate what you have learned so that we may determine whether you are eligible for academic credit.
Challenge Exams
Strayer University has developed exams, similar to final exams or projects, which allow a student to demonstrate that he or she can meet the learning objectives of a course. Successful completion of a Challenge Exam may earn you credit for that particular course.
