The Cost of Competency-Based Education

competency-based education is basically your ability to pass exams. There are colleges that allow you to simply take their classes and whenever you want to, you can take the exam. If you have $150 to get three credit hours, that means your total cost per credit hour is $50. And if you could do that over the course of your entire college degree for 120 credit hours, you would wind up with a total cost of $6,000 for the degree.
