Major Field Tests
The Major Field Tests (MFTs) are innovative undergraduate and MBA outcome assessments
designed to measure the basic knowledge and understanding achieved by students in
a major field of study. Test results enable academic departments to better assess
and refine curricula, and gauge the progress of students compared to others in the
program and those in similar programs at schools throughout the country. All MFTs
are proctored, multiple choice exams designed to assess mastery of concepts and principles
as well as knowledge expected of you at the conclusion of a major in specific subject
areas.
