September 17, 2013

  • Personalized Learning is a self-paced, competency-based program with a high level of assessment that producesmore graduates in less time and at a lower cost, since students with developmental deficiencies can take free modules to address those before admission.
  • The student experience allows students to skip lessons they already know and progress more quickly through material with which they have more familiarity, leading to a reduced cost for students and the university.
  • The program has an interdisciplinary curriculum and no electives, and students can begin a course at any timethanks to new business processes.
  • Coaching/mentor faculty provide personal support and tutoring to facilitate each student’s success in obtaining a degree through the Personalized Learning program.
