| ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT UPDATE | |
|
| May, 2006 | |
|
| Each graduating class in the College of Business and Computer Science | |
| (COBACS) completes an “assessment” exam their last semester (fall | |
| or spring--- more graduates in the spring). This nationally-created and | |
| administered “Major Field Assessment Test” (MFAT) was given to 110,000 | |
| "business" college seniors Spring, 2006 at 513 institutions nationwide. | |
| | |
| SBU COBACS Seniors "Did It Again!" They achieved the highest | |
| ranking possible by "testing" at the 95th percentile level--and SBU | |
| accounting majors finished 1st, 3rd, 5th, & 7th among SBU test takers. | |
| | | |
| The relative ranking of the SBU College of | |
| Business and Computer Science graduates for the last five assessment | |
| exams is shown in the table below. For example, a 90th percentile ranking | |
| means that SBU graduates ranked “at or above” 90% of the business | |
| graduates taking the exam. | |
|
| Semester of MFAT Exam | Percentile Rank of SBU Graduates | |

| May, 2006 | | | | | 95% | | | |
|
| December, 2005 | | | | 90% | | | |

| December, 2004 | | | | 90% | | | |
| | | | |
| May, 2004 | | | | | 88.5% | | | |
| | | | |
| Six of the previous 9 classes have ranked above the 83rd percentile. | |
|
| SBU's College of Business and Computer Science strives to create a | |
| rigorous academic program in a purposeful Christian environment. That | |
| gives SBU graduates an edge in the marketplace. When the graduates | |
| leave SBU, they are not only mentally prepared, but they are much more | |
| emotionally and spiritually prepared to be servant leaders of integrity in the | |
| business world. | |
| | |
| For those who are already taking advantage of SBU's Excellence, we thank | |
| you and continue to look forward to your "Christian business advancement." | |
| For those looking for the right business college, we hope you consider SBU's | |
| excellence and take advantage of the "SBU Edge." | |
