As Compared to What? Characteristics of the AACSB Institutions That Utilize the Major Field Test in Business

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The publishers of the Major Field Test in Business (MFT-B), an assessment of learning instrument, provide a list of institutions utilizing the instrument and a table that allows for comparison of local MFT-B mean scores to those of other institutions. The absence of information regarding the comparison group's characteristics limits the validity of that comparison. This study provides a comparison of the institutions accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International, those that use the MFT-B and those accredited institutions that do not, and an estimation of the probability that a school will use the MFT-B for assessment purposes.
