Abstract

Results from t-test and regression analysis suggests that female and transfer students at RMU do not require additional tutoring but warrant continuous monitoring and readiness to provide extra help if necessary. Age seems to be a less important indicator of academic success for undergraduate than graduate business students. Sequencing of prerequisites and their timing relative to when the core classes are taken does not appear to be important. However, statistically significant regression coefficient for MATH2040 grades more than twice that for MATH1010 grades in regressions for ACCT2060, ECON1020 and FINA3000 grades indicates that MATH1010 should be replaced with MATH2060 as prerequisite.
