Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of the proposed study is to determine the relationship between students’ graduate application materials and their performance in a speech-language pathology graduate program. Current admission criteria may be based on several measures including overall undergraduate GPA and Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores; however, evidence suggests that students with well-developed metacognitive skills may be more successful in rigorous academic pursuits than other students. Findings from the proposed study may help faculty develop an evidence-based graduate admissions process for selecting applicants with the greatest potential for achieving academic success.
