Professional Readiness Experience (PRE) Graduation Requirement

All Gardner-Webb Traditional Undergraduate students are required to complete satisfactorily at least one Professional Readiness Experience (PRE) in order to graduate, effective with the Fall 2016 freshman class. Successful completion of the Professional Readiness Experience will be indicated on the student’s transcript. Students may choose to complete as many Professional Readiness Experiences as they desire. Only the first successfully completed PRE will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

To meet the PRE requirement, a student must follow the procedures stipulated for the specific PRE chosen. Project supervisors need to ensure that the individual PRE is properly registered with Registrar Services in the early stages of the project/experience to ensure proper records are kept of meeting the PRE graduation requirement. The Professional Readiness Experiences are:

Internship/Clinical/Student Teaching

Research

Study Abroad

Service-Learning

Leadership

Further information is available from academic advisors, program coordinators, the Office of International Programs (for the Study Abroad PRE), the Center for Personal and Professional Development (for the Leadership PRE), or the IMPACT Center for Christian Ethics and Social Responsibility (for the Service-Learning PRE).
