Pet peeves on use of terminology

[LevelUP]

Capella Flexpath said they have a competency-based program, but it doesn't work like WGU.

First of all, based on reports here and elsewhere, it is more a bait and switch scheme where you apply to their competency-based program, and they will tell you 90%+ of the time you don't qualify for that program. They must pay thousands of dollars for their regular program before they even consider you for their competency-based program.

Second each course, there are like 5 milestones, and for each milestone, you have to do one at a time and then wait for it to be graded, which can take 5 days for each grade—no way to quickly accelerate through the program.

College is a game of cat and mouse.

People need to do their research and quickly get through college before they change the rules of the game.
