Abstract
WANTED: Predictors of academic success. There is a need to know the degree of relationship between certain factors and "the academic success of students in the theological seminary." No single predictor has been found to be always reliable. The best predictors examined in this study were: undergraduate grade point average, GRE composite scores, and undergraduate major. No significant difference was discovered between the academic success of full-time and part-time students. Evidence points toward the need for further study and for continuation of multiple criteria for admissions committees with emphasis upon undergraduate grade point averages as predictors of academic success. Jamison's (1965:90) study at the Theological Seminary of the University of Dubuque attempted to "determine the degree of relationship, if any, between certain factors and the academic achievement of students of a theological seminary." A multiple criteria approach was recommended. This paper reports a similar study of predictors of academic suc-, cess. These relate to admissions policies stated in the catalog of the Harding Graduate School of Religion.
