The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of certain factors relating to successful completion of the program by students in the Doctor of Education program at North Texas State University. Specifically, these factors were determined by a screening of judgments of North Texas State University graduates who had successfully completed the program, students engaged in the program, and from analysis of the factors derived from student records and research in related studies.

This study examined the association among ethnicity, age, and scores on selected portions of the TASP and MAPS tests. This study further examined if the TASP could identify students for success in college level course work as well or better than selected portion of the MAPS test.

In recent years, and particularly during the last decade, the student bodies of American colleges and universities have greatly increased in size and have become much more heterogeneous with respect to scholastic ability and general motivation to succeed. These changes have occurred chiefly because veterans' aid as well as improved economic conditions throughout the country have permitted a much greater number of students to enter college than ever before. But how many of these students are actually successful in their college education? President Archibald of Haverford College made a survey of the 655 liberal arts colleges throughout the United States. He found that of the thousands of students who entered college each year more than half dropped out before graduation. Most of these dropped out during their freshman year. The students needed guidance especially during their freshman year. The purpose of the present study was to investigate certain characteristics of freshmen students at Florida State University who obtained scores at or below the 20th percentile of the American Council of Education Psychological Examination. These students were chosen from those who entered Florida State University in Septemenber 1951, and to whom the examination was given at the time of entrance. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Stewart Murray, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaf [40]).
