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
