In higher education today, only two things are certain: change is coming, and nobody knows what that change will look like.
At College for America, we are one year into what we believe will be a large part of that change: competency-based education. We apparently are not alone.

And just last month, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation to advance competency-based education.
