Matriculation Status of Fall Term 1993 Center for Psychological Studies Students by the Beginning of Fall Term 1998: Campus-Based Students and Distance Education Students by Site. Report No. 99-09.

Overview & Synopsis

This study examined the matriculation status of all fall term 1993 master's level students of the Center for Psychological Studies of Nova Southeastern University by fall term 1998, differentiating between campus-based students and distance education students at individual sites. Data on matriculation rates were obtained on 382 campus-based students and 318 distance education students. It was found that distance education students had a significantly greater frequency of successful matriculation than campus-based students. While there were many individual distance education sites where the matriculation rates were equivalent to the matriculation rates of campus-based students, there were no sites where distance education students had a lower frequency of successful matriculation than campus-based students.
