This research addresses a significant issue in the field of undergraduate business and management education: the relationship between preparation in college and the success students experience in the first few years of their careers. The primary impetus for the study was recurring criticism of management education in popular and academic literature. Some critics emphasize the need for communication and relational competencies, others the need for technical preparation. This study sought to empirically identify the educational outcomes that are rewarded with early career success.

520 $a This research addresses a significant issue in the field of undergraduate business and management education: the relationship between preparation in college and the success students experience in the first few years of their careers. The primary impetus for the study was recurring criticism of management education in popular and academic literature. Some critics emphasize the need for communication and relational competencies, others the need for technical preparation. This study sought to empirically identify the educational outcomes that are rewarded with early career success.
520 $a A literature review was conducted to identify the criticisms that are most prevalent and the relationships between educational outcomes and success that have been found in earlier studies. This information was used in the design of the survey instrument that was the primary source of data for this study.
520 $a The study surveyed 372 graduates of 19 institutions that are members of the Coalition of Christian Colleges and Universities. Each graduated two to three years prior to the survey. In addition, 20 of the participants in the survey were interviewed to illuminate the survey's results.
520 $a Multivariate statistical techniques were used to assess the information obtained. Relationships were sought between independent variables (educational program characteristics and the characteristics and experiences of graduates), the intervening variables of educational outcomes, and the dependent variables of career success. Additionally, statistical factor analyses were done to identify the interrelationships within each set of variables.
520 $a The educational outcomes that were found to be most closely associated with early career success were interpersonal, analytical and communication competencies. Factors that were not directly related to the college classroom, however, were found to have more impact on success outcomes: Socioeconomic background, extracurricular activities, work experience and career counseling all played significant roles.
520 $a Overall, this research offers insights into which factors have the most influence on early career success and suggests actions that might be taken by colleges and students to improve the likelihood of such success. Recommendations are also offered for future research.
