The landscape of competency-based education: enrollments, demographics, and affordability
Competency-based education (CBE), broadly defined as a form of higher education in which credit is provided on the basis of student learning rather than credit or clock hours, has begun to catch the attention of federal and state policymakers, foundations, and colleges. Among the model's promising features are its potential to lower college costs and serve adult students in need of flexibility. In this paper the author explores the uncharted landscape of CBE providers with insight on the definitions, scale, and finances of the enterprise.
