Graduating seniors at the University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business have again scored in the top 5 percent collectively on a nationally-administered exit examination.

The latest scores put Monfort seniors in the highest scoring band possible for the year on the Major Field Test in Business, a standardized test produced by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N.J.

It marks the fifth consecutive year that Monfort seniors have scored at or above the 90th percentile on the test, which is the most widely used instrument at business schools to assess core business knowledge. At last report, 477 schools administered the examination nationwide.

All Monfort students must complete the online examination in their senior year.
Areas covered on the exam include accounting, finance, quantitative business analysis, management, marketing, legal/social environment, international business, and economics. The results are used as a driver for curricular improvement.

Among business schools nationwide which have administered the test are the U.S. Air Force Academy, University of Denver, Brigham Young University, Belmont University, Georgia State University, University of Missouri, Radford University, Rutgers Business School, University of Nebraska, and Xavier University.
