Abstract
Online instruction is becoming an increasingly popular course delivery system. This paper examines performance outcomes of finance students receiving face-to-face instruction versus online instruction. We compare the Educational Testing Service Major Field Test (ETS) finance sub-scores of students enrolled in online sections of Principles of Finance with those enrolled in face to face sections over a three-semester period. Results show no evidence of performance differences between online and face to face students.
