complete specific courses. Under, FlexPath, degree programs are
constructed around the direct assessment of demonstrated competencies.
While resources will be recommended, you can use any materials and
resources you choose, including textbooks, eBooks, simulations,
videos, articles, and work experiences. This new competency-based
format allows you to complete course work at your own pace throughout
each quarter. Once you believe you have mastered the course concepts,
you will complete activities to demonstrate specific competencies by
the end of the quarter.
