Abstract | While studies have found that both accounting and finance majors outperform other majors on the Major Field Test in Business (MFTB) and the Comprehensive Business Exam (CBE), research has not identified the drivers of this performance advantage. The authors examined multiyear MFTB and CBE scores and identified both business core course composition and student capability as key drivers of scores on each of these exams. Our results provide empirical evidence that accounting majors enjoy a 10.2-point score advantage on the MFTB and a 7.5-point score advantage on the CBE related to additional exposure to accounting, finance, and economics concepts in upper-level accounting and finance courses.
