Abstract

The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine whether the entrance examination requirements were predictors of success in the Graduate College Business Education program; and (2) to determine the reasons of former business education students for discontinuing the Master of Arts Program. This was considered an important research problem because i t is a first step in changing the entrance requirements to prevent the loss of qualified applicants to the Graduate College Program in Business Education at the University of Northern Iowa. The specific factors under investigation were: (1) the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) scores; (2) the General Professional Examination (GPE) scores; (3) The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business (ATGSB) scores; (4) the Undergraduate Grade Point Index (UGPI); (5) the Graduate Grade Point Index (GGPI); (6) the Department Grade Point Index (DGPI); and (7) the Overall Grade Point Index (OGPI).
