Competency-Based EdD at South College

[ashkir]

I found out a plethora of new information. I wish I can make attachments to replies, but this MyBB forum is broken and is in need of some maintenance. 

• The courses are designed based upon competency style work, inspired by Western Governors University.
  
• Most of the faculty and employees behind this were at Western Governors University, including the head designer (that OP mentioned)
  
• There are anywhere from 5 to 8 assessments per course. 
  
• Perspective is more of a practitioner designed course.
  
• There's not really any "discussion posts". It's more of assignments like matrixes, SWOTs, analysis, etc. 
  
• The assessments are designed to match real world scenarios.
  
• The assessments are designed to be based on the real world practioner. 
  
• There are no proctors for any assessments or exams. 
  
• You must MASTER (aka get an A) in order to proceed. A B+ is "Failing" at the doctorate level. 
  
• If you do not MASTER the assessment you can keep retaking it until you MASTER it. 
  
• 1:1 student to faculty ratio. 
  
• No group assignments.
  
• Dissertation is existing data, skipping IRB processes. 
  
• No qualitive work needed.
  
• Focuses more on problem solving.
  
• Designed for the working adult in mind to finish in 18-24 months.
