MFT STUDY GUIDE
As part of the assessment for our computer science (CS) and computer information systems (CIS) programs, the department requires each graduating senior in CS and CIS to take the corresponding Major Field Test (MFT). These exams cover all the courses that are required for the major. To help students prepare for these exams, the department has created a study guide for these MFTs.
