#2
publius2k4 Wrote:Southern New Hampshire University has created an associate's degree that is competency based. The degree consists of 120 competencies that equal 60 semester hours of lower level coursework. The cost for the degree is $2500 per year, and it is self paced (much like WGU). The program has already has its first class of graduates (one of which completed the program in 3 months).

Interesting! I love the exciting innovations that have exploded in education over the past 5-10 years. Amazing!

They don't give a ton of info, but I found this potential barrier "How can one enroll?

The program is offered to students through their employer. A list of employer partners can be found on the “Our Partners” page. Contact info@collegeforamerica.org for additional information on becoming an employer partner"
