A research sample of eighty marketing majors from universities in northwest Ohio were used to test research hypotheses. After a preliminary test to assess a priori intellectual ability of the students, a two-by-two factorial design was utilized to simultaneously test the relationships of high school background and college attended to four areas of marketing majors' academic achievement. No significant differences were found to exist in mean college academic achievement, mean college marketing program achievement, or mean college marketing-related course achievement between students with cooperative distributive education backgrounds and those with college preparatory backgrounds. Significant differences were found to exist between subjects in marketing course achievement. Those differences primarily existed between subjects from the different colleges and not subjects of different high school curricular backgrounds. Based upon the data of this study, it was concluded that: it did not matter what a student "took" in high school (neither distributive education nor college preparatory resulted in significantly different academic achievement in college); neither high school curricular background necessarily helped or hindered students in the further formal study of marketing; and statements concerning achievement in college marketing courses had to be qualified by the college a student attended. 1976 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu15664630485041 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu15664630485041 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
