Clayton State biz majors score big in exit exams

The Clayton College & State University School of Business has announced the national ranking of exiting seniors for this past academic year.

Sixty-five graduating business majors tested in the 87th percentile using the Major Fields Test program, an innovative battery of undergraduate outcomes tests used by schools and departments at more than 600 colleges and universities globally to measure student academic achievement and growth.

"This test is given to over 25,000 students in schools of business across our nation," said Ernest "Bud" Miller, dean of the Clayton State School of Business.

"Because of the talent and hard work of the school's faculty and staff, we continue to make excellent progress in reinventing our school to better meet the needs of our students and the business community of Southern Metropolitan Atlanta."

Two Clayton State students, Merrie LaFrenier of Stockbridge and Shawn Nelson of Fayetteville, won the first place award in the Joseph Bush Undergraduate Division of the case competition at the 2004 Society for Advancement of Management (SAM) International Conference held in March in Baltimore, beating teams from such prestigious schools as Texas A&M, Auburn, University of Illinois, Kent State and Wright State.

And the faculty of the School of Business has made a major commitment to remain current in their disciplines, with more than 70 peer-reviewed publications and presentations over the past year, and over 200 presentations at conferences during the last three years.

"I am very proud of the students, faculty and staff of the School of Business," said Miller.
