UMass Global MyPath — Competency-Based, Self-Paced Learning
If you’re interested in our UMass Global MyPath business and IT degrees, you can control everything — when you watch lectures, when you complete coursework, when you study, what your deadlines are, everything. For the right student, the flexibility of our technologically advanced MyPath programs is ultimately freeing. Plus, you can earn your degree more quickly and more affordably.
With MyPath, It's Up to You
UMass Global’s MyPath is competency-based education (CBE). MyPath courses are completely self-paced. You can work through your coursework on your schedule, without set deadlines. When you show “competency,” you pass that section and move on to the next. Beyond the lack of a set schedule for lectures and coursework submissions, MyPath also rewards you for areas where you already have knowledge, whether from prior courses, work experience, training, or earned certificates. You can move through those sections more quickly, speeding your degree completion.
University of Massachusetts Global is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)
UMass Global is a member of C-BEN. C-BEN recognizes that today, competency-based education is still an emerging field with a small number of people and institutions understanding enough to describe it or implement it. C-BEN’s efforts focus on three main priorities: growing demand, building capacity, and removing barriers.
