M
BA Exit Exam

The College of Business and Entrepreneurship requires all graduates of the Master of Business Administration program to complete an exit exam prior to graduation. The purpose of this exam is to evaluate students’ knowledge and skills developed through matriculation in the program and to compare the results to other students nationwide. Results are used to assist the college in making pertinent decisions to improve quality throughout the program and, in some cases, to assess the standards in specific courses. This third-party exam is administered in BUSN-6300, the capstone course, unless there are extenuating circumstances requiring the approval of the Associate Dean. The student's performance on the exit exam will be included as part of the course grade in BUSN-6300. Students cannot graduate without completing this exit exam.
