This study sought to determine whether a difference exists between graduate business students and non-business graduate students in their personal business ethics and social responsibility. One thousand students were contacted from a private, online university in the Midwest, with 500 subjects who were graduate business students and 500 who were non-business graduate students. A survey created by John Clark in 1966 was used to calculate each individual's Personal Business Ethics Score and Social Responsibility Score. This survey measured an individual's commitment to personal integrity and honesty in business decisions and his or her attitudes regarding various laws. By surveying people at the same stage in their educational journeys, from one school, at one moment in time and employing one instrument, this study shows there is little difference in how graduate business students and other graduate students perceive and deal with ethical dilemmas.
