Competency-Based Education
CBE programs are administered via a distance learning format using a faculty model designed for 1:1 faculty/student contact that promotes and involves substantive faculty and student interaction. The faculty engage students through a variety of multimedia resources, discussions, and qualitative and quantitative feedback. Each course requires successful completion of specific formative/summative tasks per competency that must meet or exceed Mastery level in order to progress to the next course. Students accelerate at the pace they choose to work learning through their demonstration of current knowledge and skills already gained from previous education or experience. *(Doctoral degree programs require a dissertation and successful defense of the dissertation.)
A Unique Subscription Approach to Higher Education
One of the most popular features of our CBE programs is the subscription-based tuition structure which allows for a 6 month “All You Can Master”. This flexible tuition allows for students to go as fast or as slow as lifestyle dictates with a flat subscription fee. The subscription-based structure puts tuition decisions in your hands at your speed.
