This exploratory research paper addresses undergraduate business student course instruction method preferences both pre and post COVID-19. A survey was given to a convenience sample of undergraduate business students across four areas of business: Accounting, Financial Services, Marketing/Management, and Health Care at a small university in the southeastern United States in spring 2019 (N=246) and again in spring 2021 (N=103). The purpose of the survey was to identify undergraduate business student preferences for both pre-COVID (spring 2019) and post-COVID (spring 2021) regarding Online, Hybrid, and Traditional (face-to-face) classes. The findings of this study show student preferences for the three types of delivery, as well as the change in preferences between spring 2019 and spring 2021. Future recommendations for study include an expanded study across disciplines and emphases. A qualitative investigation into the reasons for student survey responses is also suggested.
