This is the current pathway for students wishing to pursue the Competency-Based Education model (CBE). In Flex Path, students have 1 to 32 weeks to move through the course materials at their own pace. Many students value this level of flexibility. This path places the responsibility on the student to set and maintain their own pace to finish the materials on time. Students with mastery of certain competencies can complete a course in four weeks. Financial Aid is dependent on timely completion. Students may enroll in additional CBE courses as soon as previously enrolled courses are completed to expedite program completion.
