Description
INTRODUCTION Assessment is an explicit obligation of modern academic programs. The Educational Testing Service's (ETS) exam in business is an external standardized measure of assessment widely used to assess undergraduate business programs. Standardized exams like the ETS business exam offer a convenient tool for benchmarking student general knowledge compared to students at other schools. Evidence supporting the correlation between ETS scores and a student's actual business knowledge is limited but is widely employed as a tool for analysis. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the determinants of student performance on the ETS major field achievement exam with a focus on students taking multiple business courses in the online environment. There is little or no literature examining the impact of online courses on student performance on the ETS exam despite the fact that online and hybrid instruction have become ubiquitous throughout many college campuses during the last decade. The results of this study are derived at a public university located in the Southwestern part of the United States. The institution is mid-sized with a total enrollment of approximately 7,500 total students, 1,000 undergraduate business students, and 350 graduate business students.
