- Title
An Examination of the Efficacy of Traditional Admissions Criteria on Persistence to Graduation Among Radiography Students.

- Abstract
The relationship between traditional admissions criteria and graduation rates of radiography students was investigated. Two-year programs that utilized more traditional admissions criteria had higher graduation rates, as opposed to 2-year programs with moderate to low rates. Using more criteria for admission seems to be positively related to student persistence to program completion. ANOVA demonstrated statistically significant differences (p = 0.05) between 2-year programs that use traditional admissions criteria more extensively and programs that do not approach admissions in such a comprehensive manner. Radiography program directors can utilize the results to reformat their current admissions process to improve graduation rates in their programs.
