The Predicton of Grade Point Average in the Graduate Program in a School of Education of a Large California State University

Charles R. Gustafson

California State University, Long Beach

Joan J. Michael

California State University, Long Beach

Both for a total sample of 251 graduate students and for each of two subsamples of 153 men and 98 women who had had at least 18 units of graduate work in professional education at a large campus of the California State University and College system, a criterion measure of grade point average (GPA-GRAD) was more accurately predicted from grade point average measures of undergraduate achievement than from part scores or total scores on the Undergraduate Record Examination (URE). However, the Advance Education examination of the URE did provide statistically significant validity coefficients as well as statistically reliable increments to the coefificient of multiple determination associated with stepwise multiple regression analyses. For combinations of selected undergraduate achievement indices and standardized test measures coefficients of multiple correlation varied between .49 and .44, although some shrinkage could be expected upon cross-validation.
