More than classes, clinics and credit hours, Nebraska Methodist College prepares you for what's next - in your career and in your life. Our goal as an institution is that graduates of NMC will be able to articulate and demonstrate growth in the following areas: as reflective individuals, as effective communicators and as change agents in an increasingly educated citizenry.
An NMC graduate is an educated citizen who is a competent practitioner and engaged citizen who responds productively to the complex dynamics of the world and who utilizes a diversity of disciplines and perspectives.
Initiated in 1998, the NMC portfolio is both an outcomes assessment measure and a documentation source for students' personal, professional and academic development. Research indicates that we learn best when we are aware of how we learn. One goal of the NMC Portfolio is to develop students' skills of reflection and cognition. By exploring the significance of a particular experience, assignment or interaction, students learn to be aware of the interconnections among topics and apply their learning to future situations.
All Bachelor of Science degree-seeking students at Nebraska Methodist College create portfolios that help them take charge of their personal and academic growth. The process builds skills in handling new and unexpected events and in interacting with people of varying backgrounds and experience.
As they practice reflection, students gain insight into relationships with friends, family, co-workers, faculty, and patients. Through their portfolios, students seek to understand and to communicate the value of their accomplishments.
A student portfolio holds samples of student work and experiences with a reflection page attached to each sample. The portfolio allows students to keep track of experiences from school, work, personal and civic opportunities that have been important to learning.
The NMC Portfolio is organized around the three Educated Citizen goals. For each goal, students record experiences and the related learning on a cover sheet. Artifacts can be included to illustrate specific experiences. Artifacts may include papers, assignments, photographs, newspaper clippings, book reviews or awards.
Minimum requirements for the Core Curriculum are broken up into four categories: communications, humanities, social sciences and natural & applied sciences.
