ETS Proficiency Profile Exit Test Requirement

To evaluate its graduate outcomes, SENMC has chosen the ETS Proficiency Profile. This exam measures students’ proficiency in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and critical thinking. All students who are graduating with an associate degree should take this exam within the last two semesters of their program. Some courses have incorporated this exam into the required coursework. Students will be given information about the exam site and date at the time that they apply for graduation.
