Introduction. Graduation profile of students is determined by the universities; therefore, defining study programs leading to achieve graduation profile competencies makes necessary for these programs to undergo a quality analysis. One way to achieve this goal is determining if career curriculum is organized so that different subjects gradually and systematically help develop these skills during undergraduate training. Aim. To design a system to verify the career program quality with an instrument that shows up if different subjects gradually and systematically help students to acquire the graduation profile stated competencies. Subjects and methods. An analytical-explanatory, mixed design study was performed in which a graduation profile competition was selected and a survey was designed and applied to quantify the skills and/or contents in each of the subjects studied and besides, help determine what the educational-evaluative methodologies were most commonly used for each competition. Results. We verified that correspondent subjects developed 91% of the skills and/or contents needed to acquire the competence profile selected for graduate students. Additionally, all subjects used various educational-evaluative methodologies, so contributing to competencies achievement. Conclusions. The system verifies curriculum as consistent with selected career competition of graduation profile and therefore can be used in other career programs.
