Capella’s competency-based education model shifts away from the traditional time-based learning system. Rather than moving through courses based on credit hours, students progress at their own Capella Assessment pace and only when they have demonstrated proficiency in key competencies required by their field of study. This model is advantageous for students who want to accelerate their learning, as well as for those who need additional time to master a specific skill. In this model, a competency is a defined skill or knowledge area that is necessary for success in a particular career. Each degree program at Capella is structured around these competencies, ensuring that the learning experience is aligned with real-world needs. By measuring mastery of competencies, Capella ensures that students are well-prepared to succeed in their careers upon graduation.
