As a result, students can complete their degree up to 30% faster. Just as important, by passing multiple Fast Track exams, students can save up to 30% on time and money towards the full cost of a degree program with CTU Fast Track. There’s no additional cost for the exams and no penalty if a student fails to pass.*

Take a look at the list of current Fast Track courses and see how many courses you may be able to earn credit for.

*The ability to reduce time in school and/or reduce tuition towards the full cost of a degree program depends on the number of CTU Fast Track exams successfully passed.
