| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to explore the heterogeneity among undergraduate
Norwegian business students. This is made visible by the students’
choice of subjects in their third year. The chosen methodology is the ordinary
least square (OLS) regression model. By using dummy variables depending
on the preferred discipline, we can analyse what impact the composition of
students will have on their performance in the compulsory courses during the
two first years. The students who are highest ranked by letter grades tend
to select further studies in finance and accounting subjects. One should be
aware of this in the design of study programmes. |
