Building a professional ePortfolio, a personal website where students can document what they have learned in college, is a way students can make learning visible to future employers.

Professional ePortfolio (ARSC 3203), a course offered through Fulbright College, is designed to aid students in building their professional ePortfolio from beginning to end.

This 3-credit-hour course is designed for any major, sophomore to senior level. It is offered in spring 2024 on Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30-1:45 and Monday and Wednesday from 3:05-4:20.

This hands-on practical course starts by getting students to think about their strengths and what they have to offer as a professional and moves to creative ways to write about what they have learned to make it meaningful to others.

"This class helped me think like a professional and to gear up for the big transition of graduating college," a former student of the course wrote.

A 2021 study from the American Association of Colleges and Universities found that nine in 10 employers reported that they appreciate ePortfolios in the hiring process — helping students stand out in a crowded field.

For more information, students can speak to their academic advisor, enroll in the course directly or contact Lynn Meade (lmeade@uark.edu).
