Employers today expect that new hires will have the skills and knowledge to perform their job and the relevant career experiences, communication skills, and leadership to hit the ground running. A high level of professional achievement shows that a graduate can apply learning to practice and is ready to achieve success in the workplace. Academic achievement is measured by GPA, professional achievement is measured by professional achievement (PRO) points.

PRO consists of:

  • e-portfolio: A web site that displays professional achievements that highlight skills and body of work, the site is dynamic, updated frequently, and pushed to search engines.
  • Professional Achievement (PRO) points: Earn PRO points for approved professional development activity (e.g., participating in competitions, internships).
