Assessing Admission Criteria for Early and Mid-Career Students: Evidence from a U.S. MPA Program |
| abstract |
As applications for graduate and professional degree programs have reached unprecedented levels over the past decade, the applicant pool has become more diverse with more mid-career students deciding to return to school. Given the growth and diversification of the graduate applicant pool, many graduate programs are struggling to develop stronger admission package criteria that assure students admitted to their program have the pre-requisite skills needed to succeed. We examine which commonly used graduate admission criteria, particularly the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), correlate with the academic performance of both early and mid-career professional students. Using data from student files from a southeastern U.S. graduate public administration program, we find that the GRE score, undergraduate grade point average, and type of undergraduate institution are good predictors of graduate performance, but that the value of these admission criteria differs for early and mid- career students. |

Given the growth and diversification of the graduate applicant pool, many graduate programs are struggling to develop stronger admission package criteria that assure students admitted to their program have the pre-requisite skills needed to succeed. We examine which commonly used graduate admission criteria, particularly the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), correlate with the academic performance of both early and mid-career professional students. Using data from student files from a southeastern U.S. graduate public administration program, we find that the GRE score, undergraduate grade point average, and type of undergraduate institution are good predictors of graduate performance, but that the value of these admission criteria differs for early and mid- career students.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Adult students</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Graduate education</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Graduate admissions criteria</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Education</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">L</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Stephanie Potochnick</subfield><subfield code="e">verfasserin</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Charles E.
