| Abstract: |
The purpose of the study was to compare the undergraduate grade point average with the graduate index to ascertain whether the former could be used as a predictor of graduate success for students in the Leadership-Administration Emphasis, with an eye to using it in the graduate admissions process. Data on the 60 students enrolled in the program during 1972-78 was collected and a statistical analysis done. The Pearson product-moment correlation was done and the result compared with a scatter diagram. The level of significance used for the two-tailed test was .05. Results indicated that there was no significant correlation between grade point average in undergraduate work and success in the graduate program. (Author/MSE) |
