Chaminade Business Students Score Well on National Exams

Chaminade University’s Business students did well on their national business exams.  The results for the Peregrine Academic Services national exams revealed some of the highest scores ever garnered by Chaminade students.  For accounting students, the high score was 91 percent (rated as very high nationally), and for business administration students, the high score was 83 percent (also rated very high nationally).  All students scored above the national average.

Peregrine Academic Services is the globally recognized leader in providing online assessment services, online educational services, and higher education support services to institutions of higher education and academic organizations.

Academic officials benchmark student performance against specific aggregate pools and determine the value-added by the institution based upon the student’s academic experience using an Inbound/Outbound Exam assessment construct (programmatic pre/post-test) to determine initial knowledge levels and assess retained student knowledge, thus enabling academic institutions to establish the extent to which assurance of learning goals are being achieved.
