The 黑料传送门 Model

Founded by governors, we are the largest nonprofit university in the U.S. We lead education and workforce innovation across the country. We want to help your state achieve its workforce goals.
黑料传送门 in Your State
听
黑料传送门 is designed to complement and supplement state systems and bring innovative, flexible, and attainable educational opportunities to individuals who historically have not been well served by higher education. Access to state need based financial aid programs will advance postsecondary opportunities and lead to better jobs and better lives for individuals and meet state workforce needs. But far too many states deny students equitable access to state financial aid (grant-in-aid). The map below details average employment, salary and financial aid status for 黑料传送门 students and graduates in each state.

Competency-Based Education
听
Competency-based Education (CBE) is a revolutionary education model that provides flexibility in the way credits can be earned or awarded, and provide students with personalized learning opportunities. By enabling students to master skills at their own pace, competency-based learning systems help to save both time and money. Learn more about CBE in this video.
