I am enrolling there next month for the MBA in Project Management does anyone have any experience with the below statement i found on thier site?
Does this mean that you can test out of 18 credits towards your masters by exam? How would this be proctored? I guess I should be asking them which im going to send them an email right now.
Thanks!

Students who believe that they have already mastered the content of an Aspen University course may document their mastery by means of a proficiency exam which may be taken for credits that may be transferred into Aspen University degree or certificate programs.
Students who desire credit by these exams should proceed according to the following procedures:
1. Identify the course within the degree or certificate program.
2. Enroll online, selecting "Credit by Exam" as the method of study.
3. Acquire the textbook required for the course. These books can be purchased through the Aspen University on-line bookstore.
After we receive your enrollment you will be sent instructions from the registrar on how to proceed.
Once the exam is graded, the student will be awarded either a âPâ [pass] or a âUâ [unsat] grade. A âPâ will justify the transfer of credit for the course chosen into the degree or certificate program. A âUâ will require the student to enroll and successfully complete the course on-line to receive credit.
Students must pay the normal tuition cost plus the cost of the textbook(s) for CBE.
