In 2008-09, 1,447 Columbia College seniors took the Major Field Test in biology, business (bachelor's and master's), chemistry, computer science, criminal justice, English, history, literature, mathematics, political science, psychology and sociology. Of that number, an amazing 103 students scored in the top 10 percent of all U.S. students taking the test.
Scoring well on the test isn't just cause for celebration among faculty and staff; a good score also qualifies the brainy student to wear a special blue and silver cord in the graduation ceremony.
The tests are two-hour, nationally normed exams in 16 academic disciplines administered to more than 100,000 students in nearly 1,000 colleges annually. The MFT tests, developed by the Educational Testing Service, are administered to seniors as part of Columbia College’s ongoing effort to evaluate the effectiveness of bachelor's degree programs.
Below is a list of all students who have received scores of 90% or above on the MFT examination from Sept. 2008 through July 2009, and the campus at which they took the test.
For the first time, the Evening and Online campuses were tied in the number of test-takers scoring 90% or above, with 16 students apiece. Last year, the Evening Campus, at 15, outperformed their Online Campus cousins, at 10.
Among Nationwide campuses, St. Louis was far away No. 1, with 15 students. A very close second was the main campus, which had 14 students scoring above 90%; third was Salt Lake, with 9 students. These three campuses were also the top three campuses last year, but Salt Lake was No. 2 and the main campus No. 3. Is it something in the Missouri and Utah water?'
Congratulations to all these students and the outstanding faculty who taught them!
