The University of Phoenix has released a white paper outlining its approach to building and scaling competency-based education (CBE) programs. The document focuses on the university's experience in developing a CBE model specifically for working adult learners.
The white paper, titled "Building and Scaling Competency-Based Education Programs," details the institution's journey in creating and implementing its CBE framework. This model emphasizes the validation of student skills and knowledge rather than traditional time-based progression.
With more than 5,000 graduates from its CBE programs, the University of Phoenix shares key insights and practical lessons learned. The publication offers strategies and methodologies that other educational institutions can consider when developing their own competency-based offerings.
Competency-based education is increasingly recognized as a flexible alternative to conventional higher education, allowing students to advance as they demonstrate mastery. This white paper from the University of Phoenix aims to contribute to the broader discussion and adoption of effective CBE practices within the academic sector.
