Graduate Competency-based Programs
#1
Aside from WGU, UMass Global, Walden, Purdue, and UMPI, does anyone know of any other good graduate competency-based programs? I'm curious as to whether other graduate programs in competency exist. Currently, WGU excels at the graduate level, while UMPI excels at the undergraduate level, in my opinion. I recently discovered that Rasmussen University offers a competency graduate program, but it is not a true graduate program because you can only take three classes in an 11-week period. Which statement about competency education is False.

Columbia Southern University is Nationally accredited, but offers several CBE graduate degrees. I considered them for my MPH, but Rasmussen's CBE MPH came out a tiny bit cheaper and is regionally accredited.

I didn't know Columbia Southern offers CBE now.


I just looked at the wiki and saw Nations University. I thought they were self-paced but not necessarily competency-based.

ColumbiaSouthern has LifePace Learning.  I am not sure if it is true Competency based though.  They say you can do your classes in as few as 4 weeks or as much as 10 weeks.  So I think it’s flexible to a point but not exactly competency.
