The Competency-Based Education Network has announced its first cohort of 18 colleges and two higher ed systems that will work alongside each other in developing new competency-based degrees.
The effort is funded by the Lumina Foundation and coordinated by the nonprofit group Public Agenda and was first reported by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The participating colleges and universities will work together to accelerate progress on their competency-based learning models through rapidly testing new ideas and sharing results.
The participating colleges and universities are: Antioch University, Argosy University, Brandman University, Broward College, Capella University, Charter Oak State College, City University of Seattle, DePaul University, Excelsior College, Lipscomb University, Northern Arizona University, Salt Lake Community College, Southern New Hampshire University, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (Texas A&M University-Commerce and South Texas College), the University of Maine at Presque Isle, the University of Maryland University College, and Westminster College. And two community college systems: Kentucky Community & Technical College System and the University of Wisconsin-Extension are also involved.
