چکیده (انگلیسی):

The paper presents the results of a study designed to measure the efficacy of using cohort linked
freshmen courses in preparing students for the study of business. Specifically, an experimental
group of students were enrolled in three linked freshmen courses each oriented toward global
business: 1) freshmen composition, 2) small group communications, and 3) introduction to global
business. The control group of students was enrolled in the introduction to global business course.
However, they independently enrolled in any other non-business focused freshmen courses to fill out
their schedules.
