FlexPath: Your degree. Your pace.
As adults, we've got a lot on our plates. School is a priority, but in reality, family and work come first.
With FlexPath, you can still build the career-advancing skills and knowledge you need, but with a class schedule entirely controlled by you.
SELF-PACED
Once you complete a course, whether that takes you two weeks or 12, you're free to move on to the next course without having to wait for a new term to begin.
PACE DETERMINES PRICE
You can complete as many courses as you want, up to two simultaneously, each quarter for one flat tuition fee.* The faster your pace, the more money you may save.
*Books, supplies and other fees may apply.
LEVERAGE WHAT YOU KNOW
Because you already have a lot of knowledge and experience, you can move faster through what you know and take your time on what you need to learn.
SUPPORT AT EVERY LEVEL
From start to finish you'll have learning support from tutors, detailed feedback from faculty, and personalized planning from coaches.

How FlexPath works
FlexPath takes our unique competency-based approach, but removes pre-set deadlines and weekly discussions—giving you one of the most flexible learning options available. You're evaluated by how well you demonstrate competencies, not by how long it takes you to learn them.
Set your own deadlines
You get to decide your target due dates for each course assessment. Setting target dates in each course helps you have a plan to complete the course work within the time allotted for the course.
Real-world assessments
This is where you'll demonstrate competencies by applying your knowledge to everyday, professional situations like case studies, research papers, or presentations.
Faculty feedback
Submit your completed assessment to a faculty member and receive prompt feedback. You can use this feedback to revise your work and resubmit up to three times.
Completing assessments
Once you've successfully demonstrated the competencies in each assessment in the course, you will have shown your mastery—and can move on to your next course.
