Set your own pace with FlexPath

Prefer to go at your own pace?

If weekly deadlines don’t fit your schedule, Capella University’s FlexPath learning format puts you in charge. You set your pace, move quickly through subjects you already know and spend more time on new material.

Here’s how it works:

• Set the pace. Choose your deadlines in the first 12 days of each course and adjust them if life changes. Finish each course within 12 weeks.
• Take one or two courses at a time. Finish one and start the next right away.
• Pay one flat tuition fee per 12-week billing session. Completing more courses within the session can lower your overall tuition to complete a program. Books, supplies and other fees apply.
• Show what you know. Competency-based assessments measure your mastery. Your transcript shows your performance level for each competency: distinguished, proficient, basic or non-performance. Coach and faculty feedback are there when you need them.

Is your program available? FlexPath is offered in select programs across six areas of study: Business, Education (EdD), Health Care Administration, Information Technology, Nursing and Psychology. See the full list of programs available in FlexPath.

Our GuidedPath learning format is available in all programs for students who want more structure and weekly peer interaction. Choose FlexPath if you need a more flexible pace and your program is available in that format.
