Set your pace

No speed caps — you decide how fast.

Competency-based study lets you go as fast as you can demonstrate mastery. Pick a pace and see your runway to the master’s. (A minimum completion floor protects the degree's depth.)

Balance your master's with a full workload — a measured, sustainable rhythm with room to breathe between Sprints.

Illustrative runways within AGTU's 12–24 month completion range. Your advisor sets exact milestones; the applied-project capstone is paced separately.

The Skip-Ahead feature

You've led with AI for years. Don't relearn the basics.

APEX-Track's signature differentiator lets experienced candidates test through what they already know — and spend their time only where it counts. No competitor offers a fully integrated, AI-proctored skip-ahead.

1

Take a quick diagnostic

Open a Sprint module and start with a short pre-assessment — a 5–10 question diagnostic that gauges what you already know.

2
The differentiator

Score 85%+ → skip the content

Clear the bar and you bypass the lectures and readings entirely, jumping straight to the competency demonstration. The basics never slow you down.

3

Prove it, earn the grade

Pass the module assessment (B or higher) and the next module unlocks — with a real letter grade on your transcript, not a flat "pass."

Anatomy of a Sprint

Big courses, broken into completable modules.

Each course splits into 1–2 credit Sprint Modules, each one a single, precisely defined competency. Progress is constant and visible — finishing three modules in a day is real, motivating movement.

An 8-week Sprint

One flat Sprint fee covers unlimited module completions in the window. Go as far as you can — the faster you demonstrate mastery, the lower your effective cost per credit, and the sooner you finish your master's.

  • Granular: one competency per module, no multi-week bloat.
  • Micro-lectures curated from the edX / Harvard / MIT library.
  • Capstone integrates every competency into your applied project.

Speed meets scholarship

Perform faster, pay less, finish sooner.

APEX-Track plugs into the same GPA scholarship that powers every AGTU degree — so velocity and grades compound.

1 · Perform

Demonstrate mastery in your Sprint and earn real letter grades — a 4.0 is yours to claim.

2 · Earn scholarship

Your Sprint GPA sets your scholarship on the next Sprint — a 4.0 earns up to 100%, so you pay $0 to keep going.

3 · Progress faster

Lower cost and no speed caps mean you keep moving — straight toward graduation, sooner.

Where it takes you

The roles AI is creating — go fill them.

As AI automates routine work, demand is exploding for people who can lead it. The Master of Science in Business and AI points you straight at the highest-growth, hardest-to-automate roles in business.
