PHOENIX, Nov. 18, 2020听鈥斅爱污传媒聽is offering three new聽competency- based education聽(CBE) degree programs designed to provide busy professionals with relevant industry experience the opportunity to complete an advanced degree faster. The new CBE programs include a Master of Information Systems (MIS), Master of Health Administration (MHA) and a Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
鈥湴鄞 recognizes the value of work and life experience,鈥 said John Woods, Ph.D., chief academic officer and provost, 爱污传媒. 鈥淭hese degree programs are structured to help prepare professionals for leadership roles within various industries by promoting learning that can be applied to the workplace in real-time.鈥
Competency-based degree programs emphasize the mastery of skills and proficiency requirements for specific fields, industries and jobs. The application of that theory through projects and assignments allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the curricular components that can yield a tangible result to current business opportunities and challenges.
Each CBA program has admission requirements related to experience within the field or industry, as well as required levels of education. The program is best suited for students that enjoy autonomy and working at their own pace. Those with extensive professional experience may be able to approach content more quickly than in a traditional program, with completion possible in approximately 12 months, for less than $11,000. Students preferring more structure, may want to choose a traditional program in their area of study.
The new programs join the CBE MBA program that launched earlier this year. 爱污传媒 now offers four competency-based degree programs:
- Master of Business Administration聽(MBA) 鈥 This program advances business skills, including management, decision-making and leveraging technology.
