How does FlexPath work?
Students are measured on demonstration of skills and knowledge (also known as competencies) not credit hours.
Work at your own pace
There is no set term/quarter/semester, so you can work at your own pace.
Save money
You can complete as many courses as you want, up to two at a time, each quarter for one flat fee. The faster your pace, the more money you save.
Set your own deadlines
You work with your FlexPath coach to develop a personalized plan for completing each course, but you set your own deadlines.
No standardized exam
Courses are assessment-based-you'll demonstrate your knowledge through case studies, research papers, and presentations-not standardized exams.
Utilize your experience
You can use your experience to move quickly through material you already know, so you can focus on what you don't.
Competencies
Your assessments are evaluated on your demonstration of competencies. You have up to 3 attempts to revise and resubmit assessments for evaluation.
Courses
Once you finish a course, whether it takes you 2 weeks or 12, you are free to move on to the next course right away.
Personalized plan
Your personalized plan helps you visualize your progress through each course, keeping you accountable and on track.
Throughout your program, you'll have access to a community of support, including faculty, coaches, tutors, and fellow students.
