1. Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program:
Overall our students did not place at the 50 percent of all institutions
that administered the test during spring 2003. Except for International
Issues, students did not attain a mean level of performance in the business
fields listed as compared to other institutions that administered the
test during spring 2003. Students seem to have performed relatively better
in Marketing, Economics, and Finance but absolute performance was better
in Quantitative Business Analysis and Management. Departments will make
appropriate modifications to the content and coverage of the common core
courses and the test will be repeated during fall 2004.

of four (4) senior faculty and evaluated on the following criteria:
Each examination was scored as acceptable (1) or unacceptable (0) for each criterion.
Overall, the percentage of acceptable answers should exceed 70%; in each category the percentage should exceed 75%.
2. Summary of Assessment Data Collected:
For clarity, the percentage of acceptable essays was 82.05%
For style, the percentage of acceptable essays was 73.50%
For grammar, the percentage of acceptable essays was 47.01%
Overall, the percentage of acceptable essays was 67.52%

to be an area of concern. This information will be again shared with
both the Business Communications faculty, and the faculty in the College

of communications during fall 2004. In addition, the College of Business

First Means of Assessment for Outcome Identified Above:
3. Means of Program Assessment & Criteria for Success:
The AACSB/EBI MBA Exit Study Survey was administered to 37 graduating
business students. The survey measures student perception of the quality
of instruction and faculty, breadth of the curriculum, quality of academic
support services, quality of facilities and computing resources, learning
outcomes, and overall satisfaction with the program. The results are compared
against 6 self-selected similar institutions, all institutions of the same
classification as TAMIU, and against all institutions participating in
the survey.
3. Summary of Assessment Data Collected:
In overall satisfaction our undergraduate business program ranked
1 out of 7 when compared to the self-selected peer institutions. Students
were more satisfied with quality of faculty and instruction, learning
outcomes, and support services as compared to the levels of satisfaction
expressed on these factors by students at the peer institutions. Out
of 71 institutions classified in the same category as TAMIU and that
administered this survey, our undergraduate business program ranked
9. Out of 182 institutions participating in the survey, ours ranked
at number 32. Although the overall mean satisfaction index for our
undergraduate business program was higher than that of our peer institutions,
the difference was statistically significant only when compared against
the self-selected peer institutions.
3. Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program:
The survey will be administered to a bigger sample during fall
2004.
