Description
|
To supplement graduate and professional
students’ experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, the Graduate School offers a professional development program.
This program is predicated on the results of an internal study that
indicates that there are five professional development skills — or
"competencies" — that are needed by graduate students
regardless of academic discipline: communication, leadership, teaching
and instruction, professional adaptability, and self-awareness.
To provide graduate students with the opportunity
to develop these five competencies, a series of professional
development courses is now offered through the Graduate School at
Carolina. These 1.0 credit-hour courses are for graduate or
professional students only and address one or more of the five
competencies. Each course is graded pass/fail and does not count toward
degree requirements. These courses may also be audited with the
permission of the instructor. Examples
of these courses include leadership, advanced leadership, career
development, career exploration, oral presentation, college teaching,
and preparing for the professorate.
