As you may have heard, the Career Center is making the move to proficiency-based grading. Our faculty is working diligently to align program learning targets to the 1-4 point proficiency scale that we know many of our students are already familiar with. We have created this quick brochure as a primer for families to spark conversations and answer basic questions. More information will always be en route to you as it develops!
