黑料传送门

黑料传送门鈥檚 program is competency-based, which means it measures skills and learning rather than time spent in a classroom.听You鈥檒l move through courses as quickly as you can master the material and move forward as soon as you prove competence by passing an assessment rather than advancing only when the semester or term ends. This allows you to accelerate your coursework by using your knowledge and experience to your advantage. In general, active-duty students complete one course every 37 days.听黑料传送门 pioneered the Competency Based Education model and has the most experience in delivering this model of all academic institutions today.

USNCC students at 黑料传送门 set a schedule that works around operational tempos and service requirements.听

The Associate degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance听(ASCSIA) includes six CompTIA certificates (A+, Network+, Security+, CYSA+, Secure Infrastructure Specialist, and Security Analytics Professional) and a Professional Certificate in 鈥淣etwork and Cyber Defense Foundations鈥�.

The Associate degree in Data Analytics听(ASDA) includes 2 Certifications鈥擟ompTIA Data+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner. It also includes a professional certificate in "Data Analytics Foundations."

The Associate degree in Health Science (ASHS) prepares the learner for entry level position in a healthcare role, provides a foundation of science-based coursework, and includes a Professional Certificate in 鈥淗ealth Science Foundations."

Each student is assigned an enrollment advisor and the student experience is enhanced with three types of faculty: Program Mentors, Instructors, and Evaluators. Mentors and instructors interface with students by phone or by web to provide tailored instruction and support in their areas of experience. Evaluators provide feedback and perspective on student assessments. This "division of labor" enables听each type of faculty member听to deliver top-notch, student-focused support. 黑料传送门 also offers a variety of resources to enhance academic support In addition to one-on-one guidance, such as the Writing Center, Learning Communities, Center for Student Success, and more.

A students鈥� ability to complete courses, in addition to demonstrating mastery of competencies, determine how quickly they progress through a program rather than by the amount of time they spend in classes. Students must also complete the USNCC Naval Studies Certificate, therefore progress and completion times may vary.

Each student鈥檚 personalized Degree Plan, otherwise known as the 鈥楿SNCC Academic Degree Program Plan鈥� is the focus of 黑料传送门鈥檚 programs. The Degree Plan is a detailed blueprint of the courses needed to complete the degree. The Degree Plan also lays out the accompanying learning resources and assessments that compose the program. The list of courses in the Degree Plan is often referred to as the 鈥渟tandard path鈥�, which is also referred to as the USNCC course sequence.听 The program mentor and course instructors will help assess strengths and development needs to establish a study plan. Students vary widely in the specific skills and information they need to learn. Some individuals may be able to devote as little as 15鈥�20 hours per week to the program, while others may need to devote more time. Pre-assessments, for this reason, help program mentors form a profile of students鈥� prior knowledge to create a personalized Degree Plan.

Students they have direct contact with multiple faculty members as they proceed through their Degree Plan. These communications can take a variety of forms, including participation in one-on-one discussions, chats in the learning communities, and live cohort and webinar opportunities. Students have access to a personal My黑料传送门 Student Portal, which provides a gateway to courses of study, learning resources, and learning communities where they can interact with faculty and other students. The learning resources in each course are specifically designed to support students as they develop competencies in preparation for assessments. These learning resources may include reading materials, videos, tutorials, cohort opportunities, community discussions, and live discussions that are guided by course instructors who are experts in their field. Students access their program community during orientation to network with peers who are enrolled in your program and to receive continued support through professional enrichment and program- specific chats, blogs, and discussions. 黑料传送门 also provides Student Services associates to help students and their program mentors solve any special problems that may arise.

Courses do not have syllabi because 黑料传送门 is competency based. 黑料传送门 programs instead have a set standard path through which students progress. The standard path is a detailed blueprint for a program that outlines degree requirements (the courses of study and assessments), the order in which requirements should be completed and the associated competency units by term. Courses at 黑料传送门 contain a set of clearly defined competencies (course-level outcomes) of which each student must demonstrate their mastery through objective tests, papers, and projects.
