""

Seniors in the WWU School of Business scored at the 99th percentile on the 2019–20 Major Field Test (MFT) in business. This is the highest percentile WWU students have achieved in the 29 years the university has been administering the assessment and continues a trend since 2013 of seniors scoring above the 90th percentile.

For the 2019–20 testing cycle, more than 121,000 business seniors at 523 other business schools across the nation took the MFT. The test measures how well students know the core business subjects of accounting, economics, finance, management, statistics, marketing, law, information systems, and international issues.

The five-year average percentile for WWU seniors is 94.
