My PACE — Personalized, Adaptable Competency-Based Education
What is My PACE?Â
ÎçÒ¹Ó°Ôº's My PACE is a Competency-Based Education (CBE) program that allows you to move at your own pace through each course instead of requiring a set length of time.ÌýWhile you will still take tests, write papers, and complete assignments, you’ll decide:
- when you are ready to take an assessment to demonstrate your mastery andÂ
- when to start your next class — no need to wait for a new semester to start.Ìý
This allows a more personalized and adaptable way for you to complete your degree or certificate program.
CBE is perfect for you if you are ready to upskill for a current job, enter a new career with a strong foundation in a new industry, or earn a credential quickly using prior knowledge.Ìý
