Outcomes study of attrition in a two-year R.T. program.
This article examines whether there is a statistically significant relationship between admission criteria and other related student characteristics to attrition rates in radiologic science programs at two-year community colleges. The study reported in this article investigated 179 students admitted during a 10-year period to a radiography program at a Midwestern community college. Investigators found that admission criteria were not correlates of student success or failure, indicating a need for further research into cognitive and non-cognitive factors.
