Study to Validate Prerequisites in Business Communication for Student Success

Abstract

Abstract As business communication faculty members incorporate technology in their courses, curriculum designers need to address the extent to which students need to be computer literate. This study of undergraduate business administration students at California State University, Northridge, was undertaken to determine whether the business computer literacy requirement contributes to the students' overall performance in business communication. The findings indicate that students who completed the business computer literacy requirement performed significantly better in business communication than those who did not complete the program.
