The Challenge Program :: Courses

Duncan Carter"Skeptics doubt whether Challenge courses truly deserve to be thought of as college courses. They do. I've worked with many teachers over the years, and there's little doubt in my mind that they are teaching the course we teach on campus. If anything, students in the Challenge Program tend to be better writers than many of our students on campus."

- Duncan Carter, Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, long-time Challenge English Faculty Partner, and Academic Director of the Challenge Program

Only courses that are listed in the PSU catalog as departmental offerings at the 100 and 200 undergraduate level are eligible to be taught through the Challenge Program, with rare exceptions.

School districts partner with us to select courses based on individual high school needs and teacher qualifications. This means that different high schools will offer one or some of our courses.  Each course earns 4 college credits.
