Abstract

Purpose: Bloomberg Certification is valuable for business students to include on their resumes when searching for jobs. This research note examines the impact of temporality on Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) students' Bloomberg Certification performance during COVID. Methodology: We use data from 2020 and 2021 SVSU students regarding performance on Bloomberg Certification tests. In order for a student to receive Bloomberg Certification, all four modules of the Core Concepts section of the test must be passed (Economic Indicators, Currencies, Fixed Income, and Equities). Controlling for gender, intrinsic motivation, and attempt, we compare 2020 and 2021 SVSU student performance on Bloomberg Certification exams. Findings: The study finds evidence that 2021 students were more successful in attaining Bloomberg Certification than 2020 students. COVID vaccines were available on SVSU's campus starting in January of 2021. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: This research note provides evidence that SVSU finance students adjusted well to the COVID pandemic.
