Program Outcomes | Roseman.edu

The mission of the Roseman University of Health Sciences MBA program contributes to our Student Learning Outcome goals, which are to prepare students to become:

Competent Business Professionals
Responsible Leaders
Entrepreneurial Managers
Effective Communicators

To measure student achievement (which in turn is used to initiate and implement programmatic changes), the program uses direct and indirect measures. The direct measures are an End-of-Program Comprehensive Summative Assessment and the Educational Testing Service (ETS) Major Field Test (MFT). The indirect measures are the Alumni Survey, written business plan and the oral presentation of the business plan.

The 2006-2009 ETS Major Field Test (MFT) results are as shown below. The MFT results of Roseman MBA Program students show improvement over time and show that the program goals were exceeded due to the effective use of the direct and indirect measures to initiate and implement curricula changes. For example, the 2006/07 MFT results lead to the implementation of some curricular changes and emphasis, and an End-of-Program Comprehensive Summative Assessment. These changes and other improvements contributed to the overall improvement of students' MFT performance and other measured outcomes.

Currently, based on the IACBE site visit team's recommendation in 2009, the Roseman MBA program has instituted the use of a business simulation capstone instead of the Major Field Test.

A recent survey (2010) distributed to Roseman MBA Program alumni asked the graduates to rate the success of the MBA Program in different areas. The rating scale was from 1 to 5, 1 being very unsuccessful and 5 being very successful. The survey results are summarized below:
