Challenge Program
I have already contacted my councilor for the program on this very subject. I have to write a resume on myself, detailing past experience/training in Psychology. The fact that Psychology was my second area of focus and that I have military counseling experience/training bodes well for me getting approved to challenge the maximum 3 courses. If approved for one, or all three of the challenge courses, all I have to do is take the final exam for each one....and by the way, they are open book, un-timed, un-proctored tests.
 So yes, I think it's safe to say I will pass them, I'll just have to buy the text book. My goal is to challenge the 3 maximum courses leaving 10 courses to take. I want to have these 10 done before I get out of the military so I will be a tad bit busy. While you can finish the program as quick as you want, they will not award you the degree until the 9 month mark, which coincidently is 1 month before my official retirement date. I would imagine this would make me a bit more marketable in the civilian sector job market. This is an incredible program!
