In our experience, the course credits can be transferred as elective credit to any university that you choose to attend. Understandably, accepted credit is a decision ultimately made by each specific institution, and we cannot guarantee that the credits will transfer to the university you choose to attend. Over 500 high school students have taken advantage of this opportunity in the last two years at various Girls and Boys State program across the country.
