About The Program
UNTHSC identifies four Career Readiness Skills that are commonly developed as student learning outcomes throughout campus curriculum. In addition to academic accomplishments and acquired technical acumen, it is agreed that competency in these skills also means that students have developed long-standing attributes that broadly prepare them to transition from being a student to being a professional in a variety of settings. Ultimately, this means that students are able to demonstrate proficiency in and articulate these skills to potential employers.
