    I found several schools mentioned in another thread that have competency-based programs. This seems to be a good way that I could earn college credit during the summers, as I have my summers off from work. Is there a complete list of all available competency-based programs in the USA?

    Or, more specifically, is there a place that has a BA or MA in History that is in a competency-based format?

    I would like a comprehensive list of those myself. I doubt you'll find much in the way of History offerings. I've been trying to keep up on CBE programs but I imagine I have missed some. Here is what I can gather:

    Hodges University

    Rasmussen College

    Patten University

    Brandman University

    Capella University

    Walden University

    University of Wisconsin

    American Public University

    Southern New Hampshire University

    University of New England

    Forsyth Tech

    Northern Arizona University

    Western Governors University

    University of Maine - Presque Isle

    Lipscomb University

    Carlow University (appears to have or attempting to institute a program)

    Columbia Basin College (CBE Program defunct)

    Kaplan University

    Northwestern State University of Louisiana

    Purdue University (not sure if still operating CBE program)

    ... and if one considers that the end of CBE is being able to write essays and take exams when you feel ready after examining materials and not being tied down to a concrete schedule, then Ashworth College, Penn Foster College, and Nations University would all fit that definition, offering 100% self-paced degrees. With Ashworth you can even test out of courses altogether.

    Good Morning,

    What are the lowest cost options in this area? My husband and daughter would greatly benefit by finishing their grad work this way.

    Thanks.

    Good Morning and Happy Friday.

    Has anyone used a CBE from another country? It is quite common for foreign language teachers to have studied outside the US so I am guessing it would be acceptable for others. Thanks

    Good Morning.
    Is there a CBE for a faith based degree.? This would be for a missions church for someone with 10 plus years of experience in missions. Thanks.
    Happy Friday/
