Quality Enhancement Plan

The Education for a Lifetime Program


Christendom College's Quality Enhancement Plan (Q.E.P.) focuses on enhancing the student learning environment by integrating students' career discernment into their liberal arts education.  The Q.E.P emphasizes not only a discernment which builds upon the Liberal Arts in light of the College’s mission but it also ensures that students have basic 21st century research, computer communication and job search competencies.

The plan, called The Education for a Lifetime Program (E.L.P.) is a key component of the Career Development Initiative undertaken by Student Life.
