University of Kansas is looking to add Competency-Based Education

[ss20ts]

KU is a big name school nationwide (especially here in the midwest) , WGU is still and always be lesser in the eyes of the general public given its an online only school. KU doesnt need to offer cheap CBE degrees like places such as UMPI. People will pay it or they dont, regardless people will go to KU. They are not going to just sell their name and reputation for nothing.

The MS is not in the business school so obviously it wont be accredited by a business accreditation body

How is it KU when it's called the University of Kansas? Wouldn't that be UK? 

At the end of the day, it's a state school. It's not a big name in the Northeast. Maybe it is for sports fans, but we're not playing sports. 

CBE degrees nationwide have been offered at a much lower cost than traditional campus programs. The quality of the programs definitely isn't the same especially when OPMs are involved. For $14k a year I might as stay in state and get a NYS TAP award which would lower my tuition alongside the Excelsior Scholarship if one qualifies.
