Don’t have to attend class.
Instead, you make progress by passing assessments (tests, papers, and hands-on projects) that show you have mastered skills necessary to the field. It's all online, so you can study and test whenever it's convenient for you.
Work at your pace.
Take assessments whenever you are ready: before work, over lunch, after the kids’ bedtime. As soon as you pass an assessment, you can move on to the next.
Start when you want, at the beginning of any month.
You’re never tied to a set semester schedule. Sign up for a subscription period when it fits your schedule.
Receive personalized support.
Every student is paired with an Academic Success Coach for personalized mentoring and advising. Your coach works with you to create a learning plan and timeline tailored to fit your knowledge, needs, and schedule.
Leverage existing knowledge.
In the Flexible Option, you can pass assessments using knowledge you already have, no matter where you learned it. Our competency-based model means you study only the material you need to master.
Graduate with the skills employers value.
Assessments of critical competencies prove your mastery of the skills that are most sought after by employers.
