Easiest and quickest path to a college degree
Competency-based degree programmes is a type of degree programme offered by a number of universities in the United States that is not based on the credit system. The programme is designed for persons who have achieved years of experience working but still want to earn a degree. This system does not require actual class attendance but is built around the schedule and commitments of workers who qualify. Each of the students is assigned a personal coach and other assistants such as enrollment counselor and other support from a dedicated faculty. Please find below a more detailed account of our finding including a list of universities in the United States that offer competency-based degree programmes.
Competency-based degree programmes
Competency-based degree programmes are popular among working-class individuals who do not have the time to attend traditional classes or work with a traditional student based credit system. This degree system typically leads to a degree in less than a year. Depending on the school chosen, cost and the dedication of the student, a degree can be earned in as little as three months. However, students have to show that they have mastered the coursework through sitting competency tests.
