But some college students can get credit for a new TV course, provided they are wide awake at 6:30 each weekday morning. Starting Oct. 6, NBC's half-hour Continental Classroom has been approved by 300 colleges and universities (among them: Chicago, Rutgers, N.Y.U., Minnesota), will offer a college-level course...
