Business Majors Top Skills

1. During the Spring Quarter 2007, Rader School of Business (RSOB) students scored in the top 25% of the nearly 9,000 business undergraduates who completed the Major Field Test in Business (MFT-Business) administered by the Educational Testing Service. The MFT-Business is used by 181 colleges and universities as a means to assess student learning. 

In addition to the overall score, the MFT-Business provides breakout analyses in nine business content areas. Highlights of performance in these areas include:

• RSOB majors combined to score in the top 5% in the area of "Information Systems"
• RSOB majors combined to score in the top 10% in the area of "Management"
• management information systems (MIS) majors were in the top 5% in five areas: "Information Systems," "Economics," "Management," "Marketing," and "International Issues"
• management (BSM) majors scored in the top 15% in the area of "Legal and Social Environment"
• international business (IB) majors scored in the top five percent in "Management" and in the top 15% in "Economics"
• business (BUS) majors scored in the top 10% in the area of "Information Systems"
• the nine content areas that comprise the MFT-Business are: accounting, economics, management, quantitative business analysis, finance, marketing, legal and social environment, information systems, and international issues
