Major Field Tests

Most departments require graduating seniors to take an exam that covers topics specific to their major. Known as Major Field Tests, the exam is separate from the Senior Exit Exam, which focuses on general education.

Seniors preparing to graduate with a Bachelor's degree from any of the majors listed below should contact the department representative listed to schedule testing. Students graduating from majors not listed below should contact their academic advisor to see if an exit exam is required. Seniors graduating from Allied Health, Education and Nursing programs are required to take licensure tests given in lieu of a Major Field Test.

All requests for exemptions must be directed to the department representative. Exemptions given for Senior Exit Exams do not apply to the Major Field Test requirement. A list of all graduation requirements is available through the Office of the Registrar.

Major Field Tests results are reported back to each department. Graduates requesting their scores should contact the department that administered the exam. Departmental representatives needing current or historical results should contact IRE for further assistance.
