DegreeWorks is a web-based planning tool that provides an accurate display of required coursework and helps students monitor their progress towards graduation. Students can access their real-time audit in DegreeWorks via my.uncc.edu and should routinely check their progress towards degree completion.

For any required courses that are in the Fall Through or Not Counted sections of DegreeWorks submit an Academic Petition that requests the courses be counted towards your program requirements.

If you believe your audit contains errors or the requirements do not match the catalog, students should contact:

Josh Hertel: jhertel@uncc.edu

The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The PMF Program is a leadership development program at the entry-level for advanced degree candidates in STEM fields. As such, students in the DSBA and HIA PSM programs are well-positioned to apply for this program. The Program attracts and selects the best candidates possible, but is really designed with a more narrow focus - developing a cadre of potential government leaders. It provides some sustenance during the first years of employment and encourages the development of leadership capabilities. The PMF Program inculcates a lasting bond as well as a spirit of public service, ultimately encouraging and leading to a career in the government.

The PMF Program Office has announced the dates for the upcoming PMF Class of 2022 Application:

These dates have been posted here: https://www.pmf.gov/become-a-pmf/2022-application/. PMF Class of 2022 Finalists will be announced approximately six weeks after the application closes. Please monitor the webpage for updates.

For the 2022 PMF application cycle, a revised assessment has been introduced to improve the process in a variety of areas including addressing concerns around equity. PMF is also enhancing recruiting efforts with greater outreach to diverse communities, including expansion of their engagement with Minority Serving Institutions, enhanced recruitment through the alumni network, and use of strategic recruitment platforms.

The updated “PMF Applicant Handbook” is posted on the PMF website. The Handbook details the annual application process, explains eligibility requirements, required documentation, and provides an overview of the online assessment process, all with the goal of preparing prospective applicants to submit successful applications.
