基于能力的项目(CB)

Faculty-supported, self-paced learning to earn your degree faster

What are Competency-Based (CB) programs? If you have previous experience, prefer to work more independently and want to control how fast or slow you complete courses, a Competency-Based program may be ideal for you. 在教师指导下, you’ll set your own pace in a flexible environment and leverage what you already know to earn your degree faster and for less, with eligible transfer credits. 

What's unique about CB programs? You’re scheduled in 4 courses concurrently over a span of 16 weeks. CB programs encourage individual learning and provide an opportunity to engage with fellow students. You’ll also receive support and guidance from faculty in your courses and a dedicated faculty mentor in your program.

CB是如何工作的??

  1. Start your group of courses with the support of a faculty mentor.
  2. Take 3 to 4 courses at your own pace every 16-week period. Spend less time on material you know and more time on new subject matter.
  3. 一旦准备好了, faculty can unlock competency assessments so you can demonstrate what you know and how to apply it.

The 能力项目 (CB) faculty supported self-paced learning model allows students to complete their courses based on their ability to master a skill or competency on their own schedule under the guidance of faculty members. This method is tailored to meet different learning styles and can lead to more efficient student outcomes for students that are highly motivated and prefer more autonomy.

能力项目, 或CB, can require more self-discipline than the traditional college class model because you have more autonomy while learning. Be prepared to work independently, managing your own time and organization during the term. 

CB allows students to consume content faster and around their own schedule during the course with the guidance of their faculty.  This allows you to complete your degree faster and in a manner that may fit your demanding work and life commitments better.
