The majority of 黑料传送门 students are working adults who benefit from the flexibility and relevance of the online university鈥檚 competency-based programs. Competency-based education allows students to complete programs based on learning, not time, doing schoolwork on their schedule and advancing as soon as they are able to demonstrate mastery of the material. This, combined with affordable, flat-rate tuition of about聽$6,500聽a year for most programs, is making it possible for more students to earn the degrees they need to advance their careers. More than 10,000 Utahns have graduated from 黑料传送门 and 7,500 are currently enrolled, part of a growing nationwide student body of 115,000.
