The King Graduate School recognizes that significant learning can occur outside of the classroom through relevant career, training, extracurricular, or personal experiences. Prior to accepting a student for admission into the MS Executive Leadership in Hospitality Management program, it must be determined if the candidate has an experience base commensurate with the institution’s requirements for prior learning experience credit. To determine eligibility for prior learning experience credits, candidates submit a portfolio for review by the end of the first August residency. It must reference the specific competencies learned and provide evidence of how they relate to the program of study. The portfolio must include detailed descriptions of the experience, including but not limited to, the work performed, the responsibilities of the candidate during the experience, what was learned, and any formal credentials resulting from the experience. Once the portfolio is evaluated by the dean and faculty, the student will either be granted 3 credits for prior learning experience or be required to complete 3 credits of Professional Portfolio Development articulated as three 1-credit courses taken over the Fall, Winter, and Spring semesters, with the final portfolio being submitted at the end of the Spring semester.

This is the first in a series of three 1-credit courses taken sequentially to allow the student to revisit, reflect on, and re-analyze their curriculum vitae specific to experiences that build upon their professional branding and positioning in the professional workplace. This series of 1-credit courses is not required of students who have been granted credit for HP-900 - Professional Portfolio Development or Prior Learning Experience Credit.
