Is there a competency-based Masters in History or similar degree?

MA in Military History at American Public University.  They have other stuff too.
Maybe something from Purdue Global?

Purdue Global doesn't have any degrees in history. And only a handful of their degrees have the Excel Track option which is the CBE program. 
Yes well since our friend Pelican seemed a bit flexible as to the actual subject matter I thought I'd throw out the general idea.  No harm, no foul.

As far as I can tell, APU doesn't have a competency-based Master's degree. They charge per course. Granted, their fees page says it's $370/credit hour. https://catalog.apus.edu/graduate/tuitio...tion-fees/ and they do have a pure History degree https://catalog.apus.edu/graduate/academ...ementstext but 36 hours @ $370 per hour is $13320.

I'm sure you know more about these things.  I don't know of any MA History degree that is entirely competency based.  I thought it might be helpful to point out that their degrees can be earned, at least in part, through competency based assessment.  Of course, this is likely true of a number of schools.  I thought it might be better to relax the criteria a bit and so have some options rather than remain rigid and have no options at all.
