UMass Global MyPath: Self-Paced Degree Programs
Learn and earn your degree at your own pace with online coursework built to work on your schedule. By mastering competencies instead of following fixed class dates, you can complete your degree more quickly and affordably than in traditional programs.
MyPath: Self-Paced Learning, Full Student Support
UMass Global MyPath is a fully online, competency-based education (CBE) format that lets you work at your own pace, showing mastery of each course before moving ahead, so prior education, work experience, training, or certificates can help you progress faster toward your degree. With no set class meeting times or fixed assignment deadlines, you organize your study schedule around your life while still meeting clear academic standards.
Even though MyPath is self-paced, you have access to the same experienced support network as students in our instructor-led courses, including enrollment coaches, academic advisors, and one-stop specialists who monitor your progress and are available when you need help. This dedicated team reflects UMass Global’s long-standing focus on supporting learners with busy schedules from application through graduation.

With MyPath, It's Up to You
UMass Global’s MyPath is competency-based education (CBE). MyPath courses are completely self-paced. You can work through your coursework on your schedule, without set deadlines. When you show “competency,” you pass that section and move on to the next. Beyond the lack of a set schedule for lectures and coursework submissions, MyPath also rewards you for areas where you already have knowledge, whether from prior courses, work experience, training, or earned certificates. You can move through those sections more quickly, speeding your degree completion.
Some Great MyPath Benefits
Work through competencies based on knowledge, not time spent in class.
You control your schedule completely and are rewarded for discipline and independence.
Learn through simulations, game-based learning, adaptive learning, data analytics, and social learning.
Progress quickly through areas you know, spending more time on concepts you need to learn.
Single, set tuition fee for 24 weeks. Complete as many competencies as you can in that timeframe.
Nine popular business and IT degrees are available in MyPath format.
Digital textbooks and materials are all included.
Nationally recognized for online excellence and consistently ranked among the best universities for online programs.
Sophisticated tracking and faculty dashboards help support your progress. Unprecedented Technology.
