Attention Accounting Seniors

ETS Major Field Exam
Required for Graduation

The Undergraduate Bulletin 2008-2010 (p. 153) states the following:

To be eligible for graduation from the College of Management, all seniors in the Schools of Business and Professional Accountancy are required to take a two-hour ETS Major Field Achievement Exam in Business. This nation-wide examination includes basic questions from all related business disciplines. The test helps to verify that our graduates have acquired the basic business knowledge to be able to function effectively in their chosen fields. Additionally, it allows the College of Management to continuously improve the quality of its curriculum.

Important Note:
Accounting majors are required to pass the exam as a requirement of the B.S. in Accountancy degree. Therefore, students who do not pass the exam will be required to take it again.

Students with outstanding performance on the ETS Exam will receive a letter of recognition from the School of Professional Accountancy.

PROCEDURES FOR SPRING 2009

The exam is offered two times this semester for your convenience. Each senior who intends to take the exam this semester must register two days prior to exam date.
