A lot of information on the Flexpath plan at Capella is now on their website. The Flexpath MBA is competency based, and is set at a per quarter tuition rate of $2000 ($8000 per year). Just like WGU, a student can earn as many credits per term as they can handle. It seems like a fairly decent competency based option.

$8,000 is not too bad if you can finish in one year, but I would hate to have Capella on my resume. Besides, one can get an AACSB-accredited MBA for $10k-13k.

I'd much rather have Capella than UoP. But I agree, there are better options out there. This is just interesting to note because of the competency-based options some schools are beginning to include.

There are advantages to both options. The Flex Path will appeal to many adults who have the industry experience and don't want to sit through a class (either online or brick and mortar).
The AACSB option is for those who want a "gold standard" MBA.
I have an AACSB MBA and a Capella doctorate, and am very satisfied with how my career has played out.
