About Jayhawk Flex and Competency-Based Education at KU

Jayhawk Flex is the initiative to explore, develop, and implement competency-based education programs at the University of Kansas. The Jayhawk Flex team is following a research-informed and collaborative process, accounting for multiple constituents, considerations, and areas of need.
The Jayhawk Flex team is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of faculty, staff, administrators, leaders, and IT specialists. The team is organized into a 5-strand model, including Business Processes, Curriculum Development & Learning, Information Technology, Policy & Regulatory Compliance, and Student Journey Supports. The teams drive work in concert with one another and receive guidance and support from a 6th strand – the Steering Committee.
