Outcomes
Our results are proven by national test scores, by student employment placements, by alumni engagement, and by our students' successes in external competitions. Most of our graduates obtain employment by the fall of their graduation year. In addition many of our ABE graduates go onto graduate school or obtain advanced certification as CPA’s, CFA’s and more!
- All of our graduating seniors in ABE from 2002 through 2006 have outscored 90% of all students in the nation on the Major Field Achievement Test. This national exam is administered each year by the Educational Testing Service, the same people who do the SATs.
- Each year seniors in the business honorary compete in an intercollegiate case competition. In the past 16 years we have won 23 trophies!
