Student Outcome Assessment Program- Major Field Test in Business

The College of Business Administration requires every student to take the online version of the Educational Testing Service’s (ETS) Major Field Test (MFT) in Business in MGT 462 Business Policies (the Capstone course) as part of the graduation requirement.

The Major Field Test in Business is an innovative undergraduate outcomes assessment that measures basic student learning in the field of business. The exam contains 120 multiple-choice items designed to measure a student’s subject knowledge in nine assessment areas by applying facts, concepts, theories, and analytical methods. The questions represent a wide range of difficulty and cover depth and breadth in assessing students’ achievement levels.

MFT results enable the College of Business Administration to refine and improve curriculum development, gauge the progress of individual students compared to others in the program and compare total scores with similar programs at schools throughout the country.
