Gena Jean on 20 Sep 14Higher education is seeing a rapid increase in the installation of competency based education. Traditional education has three main issues - 1) More people need education, but few can afford it 2) A traditional Degree can take too long to earn 3) Traditional Degrees don't really show the skill set of the graduate Competency based education helps to address these issues while providing students with affordability and flexibility as they continue their education.

Gena Jean on 21 Sep 14Elizabeth, It is something that we have been discussing for the past year at TSTC. It has it merits as well as disadvantages and would work better for some instructional areas than others, but I know that as a student I would have loved to have been able to do something like this. I think that WGU does something similar.
