Dr. McElhinney uses the Pro-Development Student assessment to provide students and their parents with a clearer picture of who they are which guides them to make informed and intentional course and major selections at the beginning of their college career, which prevents extra tuition costs.
Changing majors and/or universities contributes significantly to increased college costs. According to a 2016 survey the average cost was $8,000 per student. As a former professor of Psychology, Dr. McElhinney has seen this first-hand. This financial and emotional cost can be averted.
The uniqueness of the Pro-Development Student assessment is that it measures three areas: Passion/Mission, Career Competency, and Personality. Pro-D technology converges cognitive, interpersonal & behavioral skills to yield a unique, holistic perspective of the individual student.
