About half the students that filled out the survey were freshmen (68 students) while 23.9 percent are sophomore (29 students), 14.8 percent were juniors (18 students) and 4.9 percent seniors (6 students). Most of the students, 71.9 percent, were pursuing a BCA major (87 students) while only 13.2 percent were pursing BCA minor.

Since BCA 210 is an introduction course to the BCA program it makes sense that a few freshmen could still be undecided of their major. The intended program of study at Central Michigan of the students who took BCA 210, χ2 (9, N = 121) = 27.54, p < .001. Out of 121 students in the class 68 (56.1 percent) were freshman and of those 68 students, 55 were pursuing a BCA major while only six were undecided.

The Linear Regression model proves statistically significantly of the variables. However, only affinity for viewing film on the internet (β= .27, p <. 05) was statistically significant
