FLEXPATH LEARNING FORMAT

A flexible approach to earning a degree

With FlexPath, you can take courses at your own speed and move on to the next one when you’re ready. Our self-paced learning format helps put you in control.

What is FlexPath?

The FlexPath learning format offers flexibility – and support – to help you fit earning a degree into your busy life. Set your own deadlines. Use what you already know to progress at your own pace. And take advantage of one tuition fee every 12-week billing session to help lower costs. Books, supplies and other fees apply.

Flexible deadlines

Take one or two courses at a time and complete them on your schedule. Whether you finish in two weeks or 12, you can start your next course without waiting for a new term to begin.

Grading and evaluation

We support your courseroom success: a scoring guide explains what you will be evaluated on, and a competency map shows your progress. You can take assessments up to three times and record your best score.

Submitting assessments

You’ll use the same quick and seamless process for submitting assessments for every course. Once you’ve completed a course, you’ll be enrolled in the next course in the program.

Academic support

You’ll be assigned an academic team, which includes the course instructor and your academic coach. They’re ready to support you.

Leverage what you already know

The FlexPath format lets you move quickly through information you already know so you can move on to new topics.

How much does a FlexPath degree cost?

Choose a degree program to see how your pace can determine your price. The more courses you successfully complete each 12-week billing session, the faster you can progress and the more you can save. Check your program’s pricing information for details.

Your program length and cost will vary depending on transfer credits, per-session cost and how quickly you complete courses. Estimate is based on "typical pace" (median speed of FlexPath students), "accelerated pace" (speed of fastest 25% of FlexPath students), or "slower pace" (speed of fastest 75% of FlexPath students) and assumes average number of transfer credits. Books, supplies and other fees not included in this estimate.

Transfer credits can save you time and money

Regardless of the learning format you choose, Capella may be able to accept credits you’ve earned from another accredited school. Learn more about transfer credits.
