Executive Summary
ETS Major Field Test Data Analysis for LU Students
Academic Years 2008-2013
Major Field Tests (MFT), developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS), provide colleges and universities with the means to assess
academic achievement of students within major disciplines. The Major Field Tests are nationally normed, standardized exams that are
available for the following disciplines: Biology, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Economics, Literature in English,
Mathematics, Music, Physics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. A total score (scaled score) is reported for each student that
completes the test and percentile rankings are available on ETS's website at http://www.ets.org.
The Major Field Test Data Analysis provides information regarding Lincoln University students who have taken an ETS Major Field Test
during academic years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Due to the fact that there is not a MFT specifically designed for Marketing
or Public Administration majors, Lincoln University's Marketing and Public Administration majors take the Business Major Field Test. All
information used to complete this analysis was obtained from the MFT database that is maintained by the Office of Institutional Research
and Assessment.
A total of 796 Lincoln University students have taken the ETS Major Field Test within their discipline during academic years 2008 (114),
2009 (151), 2010 (145), 2011 (118), 2012 (129) and 2013 (139). Of the 796 students, 196 (25%) scored at or above the 50th percentile
while 600 (75% ) scored below the 50th percentile.
NOTE:
During academic year 2008, one Agribusiness student took the Business Administration MFT.
During academic year 2009, three Agribusiness students took the Business Administration MFT.
During academic year 2010, six Accounting students, three Agribusiness students and one Liberal Studies (BLS) student took the Business
