Brown, Bob S., Rick J. Weible, and Kurt E. Olmosk. "Business School Deans on Student Academic Dishonesty: A Survey." College Student Journal 44.2 (2010): 299-308. Print. In this study, business school deans were asked their opinions on cheaters in the classroom. They believed that cheating was not really an issue and did not think that very many students actually cheated in school. It is not given a high priority at many universities and is often ignored by instructors. An interesting topic, it can bring some material to my paper because apparently cheating isnt very uncommon in business schools. Maybe students arent worried about getting caught or dont care about their grades. Either way, it is happening and is affecting the learning environment in many business schools.

Fish, Lynn A., and Lauren A. Fish. "Career Expectations and Perceptions of Part-Time Mba Students." College Student Journal 44.3 (2010): 706-19. Print. Florida State has a big program for MBA students, and it is an interesting topic to consider where these students are planning on taking their careers. The study found in this article suggests that most MBA students are seeking a comfortable work/life balance. The second most common incentive is benefits and compensation. Understanding why these students are seeking their Masters degrees highlights the purpose of the College of Business, which is why this article relates to my ethnography.

Korhonen, Maija, Katri Komulainen, and Hannu Rty. "Not Everyone is Cut Out to be the Entrepreneur Type: How Finnish School Teachers Construct the Meaning of Entrepreneurship Education and the Related Abilities of the Pupils." Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 56.1 (2012): 119. Print. This article reflects a study of the Finland education system, which is a major promoter of enterprising and entrepreneurs. The governments goal is to avoid teaching its citizens to be passive employees receiving salaries and welfare, and instead create a society with active enterprisers who are constantly coming up with ideas for businesses. My project will benefit from this article because it emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurship education; Florida States business school has an entrepreneurship major. The entrepreneurship major is a unique program to FSU. While every business school has accounting, finance, and management programs, its not as common to find a place that teaches students how to start their own businesses from the ground up.

Riese, Hanne. "Enacting Entrepreneurship Education: The Interaction of Personal and Professional Interests in Mini-Enterprises." Cambridge Journal of Education 41.4 (2011): 445-60. Print. Rieses article also involves a study on entrepreneurship education, but this time it takes place in Norway. Across Europe, students take part in mini-enterprise programs in which they build their own virtual businesses over the course of a year, from start-up to closing it down. This promotes a positive attitude toward self-employment and builds the entrepreneurship skills required to get a business up and running. The article reinforces FSUs entrepreneurship program because its students spend a great deal of their college years working on a virtual business that they created. This is very similar to the Norway study because the experience at FSU develops the skills and mindset necessary for starting a business.

Tam, Veronnica. "Internship: Riding the Winds and Cleaving the Waves Amidst the Financial Tsunami." Journal of Youth Studies (10297847) 12.2 (2009): 19-31. Print. Internships are highly sought-after for business students and potential employers, and that is what this article discusses. It is mostly about the benefits of internship programs, which are plentiful for both parties. Most of the data is collected from Hong Kong, but the results can relate to the United States as well. Florida States business students seek paid or unpaid internships if they are trying to be successful. FSU also has career and internship fairs to help the students find what theyre looking for.

Tomkiewicz, Joseph, Kenneth Bass, and Joanna Robinson. "Students' Propensity Toward Business Ownership." College Student Journal 46.4 (2012): 914-20. Print. This article discussed the reasoning behind business students interests in self-employment and creating their own businesses. With the current recession and high unemployment, business graduates have slightly less opportunity now than they did ten years ago. This plays a role in their attitudes toward self-employment. However, in this study the graduating seniors had less optimist regarding starting a new business than incoming freshman. The article will benefit my project because it gives reasons why students want to start their own businesses, and also questions how effective the entrepreneurship major is, considering the fact that students are less optimistic as they get closer to graduation.

Truell, Allen D., and Sherry Woosley. "Admission Criteria and Other Variables as Predictors of Business Student Graduation." College Student Journal 42.2 (2008): 348-56. Print. This study was created to find out if admission requirements can accurately predict the success and graduation rates of business students. Students accepted into a particular College of

Business were recorded by their GPAs of the first two years of college. They entered the business school during their junior years, which is the path that most FSU students take. In the study, 83% of the students graduated on time. I will use this information to look further into success rates of business students, and find out how they compare to students in other departments.
