In recent decades, the expansion of university systems and the availability of Higher Education have driven the implementation of mechanisms to improve and ensure the quality of educational processes. This study examines the methods for monitoring the Graduate Profile in 39 undergraduate programs at Universidad Diego Portales. These mechanisms assess the essential learning outcomes that contribute to the graduate profile, addressing three questions: What have students learned? What knowledge is lacking? And what actions will be taken to improve? The profile evaluation is organized into Initial, Intermediate, and Professional cycles, utilizing integrative curricular activities and key assessments. The collected information allows for identifying gaps and deficiencies, justifying corrective actions. The future challenge is to expand the advanced-level implementation of the Graduate Profile Monitoring System to all programs and strengthen the management and analysis of results by academic and administrative teams.
