For-profit higher education conglomerate American Public University System has announced that four of its online undergraduate degree programs will require learners to master at least 60 competency-based modules for completion, eliminating the traditional credit hour model, Inside Higher Ed reports. APUS is the third institution in the last three years to replace the credit hour system of learning, following fellow for-profit Capella University and non-profit Southern New Hampshire University’s College for America. The APUS “Momentum” program has not yet received approval from the federal government for students to receive student financial aid.
