Abstract
The purpose of our study is to examine business students’ perceptions of their online class experience relative to the traditional in-class experience; specifically, whether a descriptive, theoretical or analytical course would be preferred as an online or traditional course. Two hundred and ninety students enrolled in upper-level business courses were surveyed at a mid-level Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accredited public university. Students were then asked to contrast their experiences with online and traditional classes regarding convenience, amount learned, difficulty, etc. A breakdown of the students by major revealed similar attitudes toward the online experience whether majoring in a more analytical or soft-skilled business discipline.
