Abstract

This study explored differences in the time to completion (graduation) and final GPA of first time in college (FTIC) students based on the type of earned institutional credits when accepted, and the academic results due to race and sex. Existing data from 6591 college graduates from two private universities were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVAs. The results showed statistically significant differences in the time it took students to graduate as well as statistically significant differences in final GPAs based on the type of earned credits at the time of acceptance. Furthermore, significant differences in completion time and GPA existed among students with different races as well as between males and females.
