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"
