Major Field Tests are end-of-major examinations in 14 disciplines to be used by undergraduate institutions for outcomes assessment. Scores, subscores, and assessment indicators are provided to each department administering the tests. The tests are based on the GRE Subject Tests and are jointly sponsored by ETS and the GRE Board.

Missouri Western State University graduates are required to take an exit exam, and most departments use the Major Field Test. Students sign up for this test in the department of their major. Exit exams are given several times toward the end of each semester.
