Abstract
Although accounting programs are attempting to improve students' communication skills, communication apprehension may be hindering those efforts. This exploratory study investigates a largely ignored group in business education research: nontraditional students. The survey of accounting majors described in this article found that nontraditional students were significantly different from traditional students in communication apprehension and a personality variable, tolerance for ambiguity. Apparent gender differences also have implications for developing communication skills programs.
