What is Competency-Based Education?
Transforming Higher Education
Competency-based education (CBE) posits that learning is best measured by students demonstrating what they know and can do rather than by the number of hours spent in a classroom. CBE is student-driven and self-paced, guided by individualized feedback from an instructor and advisor. CBE is also flexible and offered fully online, so it works around the busy personal and professional lives of adult learners and working professionals.
Three Benefits of Competency-Based Education
Cost-Effective
Your degree is more affordable than ever with a fixed tuition rate that includes digital textbooks!
Fast Track Your Degree
You’ll begin each term by registering for up to two courses. After completing your courses before the term ends, you’ll have the opportunity to complete additional courses to significantly shorten your time to degree completion.
Fully Online
Our fully online courses allow you to complete your coursework in the time and place that works best for you. Competency-based education is a flexible choice for working professionals and post-traditional learners who are caretakers for children or family members.
