The Core of Capella Assessments

Capella University’s educational model revolves around competency-based education (CBE), which differs from traditional learning in significant ways. In CBE, the emphasis is placed on mastery of specific Capella Assessment skills rather than completing a set number of hours or earning credits through exams. Capella students progress through courses when they can demonstrate their proficiency in the competencies required for the program. This means that rather than adhering to rigid course timelines, students have the flexibility to move at their own pace and focus on mastering each area of study.
