Strut Learning selected to help Thomas Edison State University to launch its first CBE program

Washington, DC – April 16, 2018 -- Thomas Edison State University (TESU) has selected Strut Learning platform and services to help them create, launch and deliver the institution’s first competency-based degree program. This program will allow students who have already earned credits towards an AA degree to complete the degree and pursue a Bachelors degree or specialized program leading to a desired job and career.

Developed in direct alignment with New Jersey residents' needs, the competency-based program awards college credit based on a student’s mastery of skills, or “competencies,” rather than time spent in the classroom.
