University of Kansas is looking to add Competency-Based Education

I have found maybe an update to this new CBE program.

The email all of us that have signed up for states the first program that they want to launch is the Master of Science in Project Management.

It seems like it’s is 33 credit hour degree, sadly EACH class/course is 1 credit hour. This seems like a drag and it seems like it’s going to be hard to get through at a fast pace, meaning that it will be a grind to get through. Here is the course catalog for it: https://catalog.ku.edu/flex/flex-project...t-ms/#text

It really depends on how you and others perceive competency based degree learning, it may seem daunting to complete 33 (1 credit) classes, but, for those who have done PUG Exceltrack classes know that's the same thing, each regular class is split into something like 5 chunks, you'll get well over 50 or so for 10 classes at PUG. People go through classes at different speeds depending on the effort and energy, previous knowledge, time, etc, into the classes and have completed them within the deadlines to completing the assignments or assessments and finish without needing to pay for a third or longer session. Faster you go, lesser you pay...

I was looking at it as us having to pay at 8 week intervals, since UMPI is the most bang for your buck institution. Hopefully KU reveals how much and how long they want to do each term for CBE. Would be nice to get more than 8 weeks ?
