Note: Effective 2010-11, Performance Funding standards state that each major field test must be compared to national norms or
national pass rates when available. For locally developed tests comparison is is made to the score most recently reported for the
Performance Funding program.
APA = Academic Performance Award recipient. A major will qualify for the award if at least 55% of its graduates exceed
the comparison mean. For majors using national exams, the comparison score is the national mean. For majors using
locally developed exams, the comparison score is the mean of all the major's scores for the immediately preceding three
(3) years. A major must have tested at least 5 students during the academic year to be eligible for the Academic
Performance Award.
Majors tested annually but not reported for Performance Funding: Physics, Music, International Relations, Economics,
BA, BS
