167 final writing projects from bachelor level Leadership courses were analyzed to find a correlation of success rates between pre-completed business and professional communication courses. The test statistic was close to an outlier on a one-tail test with a probability of 5.318948%, which meant the outcome of this study was quite close to null hypothesis rejection. The unanticipated result and largest area for further study was the significant number of students who did not end up completing the final paper. Of 167 students observed, only 133 completed the final paper. The completion rate of those having taken the Business and Professional Communication courses was 74 of 88 (84.09%). The completion rate of those having not taken the Business and Professional Communication courses was 59 of 79 (74.68%).
