I don't know if it's pass/fail yet. The courses are all together, so they're not broken down into competency areas rather than courses.

That's something you should check into because it could cause difficulties in transferring credits. You should also pinpoint an MBA program you want to apply to so that you can make sure they accept transfer credits and don't require something extra like AACSB accreditation.

So I got further along in the application process.
The original program I had applied to, apparently, was NOT the FlexPath program, although I thought it was.
Once changing to the FlexPath program, I was subjected to several proficiency exams before I could be accepted (writing proficiency, math proficiency, and proficiency with Excel spreadsheets).
I did quite well these assessments. If a student did not do well on these subjects, it would have been recommended that they sign up for the regular MBA.
Capella received my transcripts today, and I was accepted immediately. The tuition is reasonable, so I think I will go ahead and take courses in the first term. If I like it, I'll stay. If not, I'm only out $2k.
I'm looking forward to being a Masters degree student.
