Research on competency-based education (CBE) has primarily focused on elements of development, design, and implementation. The researcher interviewed students about their experiences in a CBE course as an avenue to deepen existing knowledge, build upon previous research, and improve development, design, and implementation. The researcher interviewed community college students to better understand their experiences in a CBE course or program. The researcher asked students questions designed to lead to greater knowledge about aspects of the CBE model that lead to a successful student experience, including engagement in CBE courses, levels of faculty and staff support in the CBE program, and students' prior and current knowledge of the CBE structure. A qualitative research method of interviewing participants to gain this information was employed. The population of students in CBE programs at the two sites involved in the research was limited to students who had completed at least one CBE course. The combined population of 189 students yielded a sample size of five students who were primarily nontraditional students in online CBE courses. Data analysis of transcripts of the interviews began immediately following and included identifying and coding themes of CBE knowledge, people, structure, barriers, and experience. The answer to the research question is that the CBE model is a beneficial option for students. The students in this study appreciated the following key elements of their CBE experience: the high level of individualized options for learning the material, the access to faculty and staff on an as-needed basis, the efficiency offered them for the rate at which they learned, and the ability to progress faster within the term limits. Due to the size of this study, further research should include a larger sample size to validate the findings of this study. Additionally, quantitative research should be used to quantify student retention and completion data to further support the benefits of CBE programs. Finally, research that connects graduates of CBE programs to employers is needed to validate the early claims made by CBE supporters that CBE will improve the quality of graduates entering the workforce.
