The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is part of our ongoing effort to support student learning and success.
The QEP process is designed and mandated by our University’saccrediting body as a data-driven and grassroots undertaking.
It is an opportunity for us to collaborate, innovate, and make a positive impact on our campus community.
Past QEPs have established programs and initiatives that are now part of the academic fabric of MTSU, including Experiential Learning (EXL) and the recently rebranded Engage.
MTSU’s new Quality Enhancement Plan, determined by the campus community, is Career EDGE (Excellence, Development, Growth, Experience).
Career EDGE prepares our students for meaningful professions through enhancing career development, self-development, and professionalism.
The Career EDGE program development committee, comprised of faculty, staff, and students across campus, has developed specific goals over the past year.
• Goal 1 is to support students through enhanced career advising and mentorship opportunities.
• Goal 2 is to support students through enhanced integration of coursework and National Association of Colleges and Employers career readiness competencies.
Potential initiatives being discussed to support these goals include:
• Assisting students in career progression
• Integrating two key National Association of Colleges and Employers competencies in coursework (career and self- development, and professionalism)
• Providing incentive grants for students, faculty, and staff to innovate around Career EDGE goals
A pilot program and Faculty Learning Community will be launched this fall.
If you wish to provide input on further Career EDGE progress, please attend our next town hall, at 3 p.m. Oct. 1 in BAS S102.
