Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Akron, 1989.

This study was completed at an urban, Northeastern Ohio, state university to determine whether differences in business course grades existed between four-year Computer Science-Business Option degree majors (Group 1) in the College of Arts and Sciences and their counterpart majors in the four-year College of Business Administration (Group 2). It consisted of a randomized sample of 403 Business Administration majors and 91 Computer Science-Business Administration majors who graduated between 1983 and 1987.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study was completed at an urban, Northeastern Ohio, state university to determine whether differences in business course grades existed between four-year Computer Science-Business Option degree majors (Group 1) in the College of Arts and Sciences and their counterpart majors in the four-year College of Business Administration (Group 2). It consisted of a randomized sample of 403 Business Administration majors and 91 Computer Science-Business Administration majors who graduated between 1983 and 1987.
520 $a This study was an investigation using course grades received in seven business knowledge courses to differentiate the groups. Both groups of majors took common courses in Accounting I and II, Principles of Macro and Micro Economics (sophomore level), Business Finance, Management, and Marketing (senior level). The study analyzed the courses in group sets. Set 1 consisted of all seven courses; Set 2 the first four courses; and Set 3 the last three courses. This study identified any achievement differences between these majors by studying the first four business courses (sophomore level), and the last three business courses (senior level) for each group. To determine whether academic business success had changed between the sophomore and senior years, an analysis was made to determine whether differences existed in the grade points over time for the groups. Other demographic variables were included in the hypotheses being tested.
520 $a The statistical finding of the research hypotheses suggests that higher grades were more likely to discriminate Computer Science-Business Option majors than Business Administration majors for: (a) all seven business courses, and (b) the first four business courses. In the last three business courses, academic success for Computer Science-Business Option majors was not significantly different than academic success of their counterpart majors in Business Administration.
520 $a Findings of this study are contrary to the public notion that Computer Science students may be deficient in their business skills. Assuming that academic achievement may relate to business skill achievement, this study finds that, academically, Computer Science students do significantly better than their counterpart Business Administration majors in those seven fundamental business courses and the first four.
