ORU Business Students Score Above 95th Percentile

---

Forty-six ORU undergraduate business seniors who recently took the national field test for business averaged above the 95th percentile, placing their performance in the top 5 percent in the country.

The Educational Testing Service business field test is given at 181 universities across the country such as Dallas Baptist University, Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Northeastern State University in Oklahoma, Southwest Missouri State University, Wheaton College, and Xavier University. The test "documents the outstanding students and outstanding faculty that we have, that when they graduate from here they have the skills to compete with anyone," said Dr. Jim Russell, chair of the undergraduate business department. Kevin Schneider, business instructor, administered the test as part of his Strategic Management class.
