Academic Quality

Students graduating from the CSU School of Business are well prepared for success. We measure and document our students' performance on exams which are used for assessment. Each semester our graduating seniors take the ETS Major Field Test in Business in the capstone course. This test, which is used at more than 600 colleges and universities globally to measure student academic achievement and growth, consists of examinations in disciplines such as accounting, economics, management, finance, marketing, legal and social environment, international business, and quantitative business analysis. Our students consistently perform well on this exam.

Research shows that people skills are twice as important as technical skills in explaining job performance and in predicting career success. At CSU we believe this and concentrate on helping our students assess and develop people skills in addition to technical skills. Our students consistently score well above that national average on the BarOn-Eqi instrument used to assess emotional intelligence and soft skills.
