Competency based degrees are awarded on the basis of demonstrated competencies without regard to the amount of time required to attain them. Most of the competency based degrees allow students to tailor a program to their specific needs. It means that those students with prior academic or work experience can apply their learning toward a degree and avoid taking course in areas already mastered. These degrees are perfect for paraprofessionals or working adults due to the following advantages:
- Allows you to work on your own pace
- You can apply knowledge and competencies already gained to accelerate their time to complete a degree.
